| Abstract | Kroz povijest, rodna nejednakost bila je duboko ukorijenjena u društvu u kojem se smatralo da su muškarci „glava“ obitelji, hranitelji i donositelji odluka, dok su žene bile ograničene na ulogu kućanica i skrbnica za djecu i obitelj. Ženama su bila uskraćena osnovna prava, uključujući pravo na obrazovanje i rad, jer se smatralo da su te aktivnosti isključivo muška odgovornost. Žene su bile prisiljene biti tihe, poslušne i ne uplitati se u odluke i poslove muškaraca, a svako odstupanje od tih očekivanja često je kažnjavano fizičkim nasiljem. S vremenom su žene započele borbu za svoja prava, tražeći rodnu ravnopravnost, pravo glasa, pravo na rad i obrazovanje. Nakon mnogo godina žestoke borbe žene su konačno izborile za svoja prava. Danas, u 21. stoljeću, žene imaju pravo glasa i jednaka prava kao muškarci. Međutim, društvo i dalje često percipira muškarca kao glavu obitelji, što može dovesti do pokušaja kontrole i, u konačnici, nasilja kada se žena tome odupire. Borba za rodnu ravnopravnost neraskidivo je povezana s problemom nasilja nad ženama, naglašavajući kako je nasilje često posljedica duboko ukorijenjenih rodnih nejednakosti i diskriminacije. Analizirajući različite oblike nasilja nad ženama, moguće je vidjeti kakve posljedice to ostavlja ne samo na pojedinca, već i na cjelokupno društvo. Od međunarodnih konvencija, poput Istanbulske konvencije, do najnovije Direktive Europske unije o suzbijanju nasilja nad ženama i nasilja u obitelji, preko nacionalnih strategija, zakona, protokola i drugih pravnih izvora, nastoji se doprinijeti suzbijanju nasilja nad ženama, kako u Republici Hrvatskoj, tako i u cijeloj Europskoj uniji. |
| Abstract (english) | Throughout history, gender inequality has been deeply rooted in society, where men were considered the "head" of the family, breadwinners, and decision-makers, while women were confined to the roles of housewives and caregivers for children and the family. Women were denied basic rights, including the right to education and work, as these activities were considered exclusively male responsibilities. Women were forced to be quiet, obedient, and not interfere in men's decisions and affairs, and any deviation from these expectations was often punished with physical violence. Over time, women began to fight for their rights, seeking gender equality, the right to vote, the right to work, and the right to education. After many years of fierce struggle, women finally won their rights. Today, in the 21st century, women have the right to vote and equal rights as men. However, society still often perceives men as the head of the family, which can lead to attempts at control and, ultimately, violence when women resist. The fight for gender equality is inextricably linked to the issue of violence against women, highlighting how violence is often a consequence of deeply rooted gender inequalities and discrimination. By analyzing different forms of violence against women, the impact is evident not only on individuals but also on society as a whole. From international conventions, such as the Istanbul Convention, to the latest European Union Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence, through national strategies, laws, protocols, and other legal sources, efforts are being made to contribute to the suppression of violence against women, both in the Republic of Croatia and throughout the European Union. |
