In partnership with UN Women, The Advocates for Human Rights created sections on drafting laws on domestic violence for UN Women's Virtual Knowledge Centre to End Violence against Women and Girls. This section, along with sections addressing other forms of violence against women and girls, may be found under Legislation at www.endvawnow.org.

Is your country in the process of drafting or amending a domestic violence law?

Upon request, The Advocates for Human Rights provides commentary to laws and amendments to domestic violence laws. See examples of our commentary on national laws and other advocacy work here. To request commentary or to inquire further, please contact Rose Park at rpark@advrights.org.
