- Abstract
Domestic violence is one of the most disturbing phenomena in our society, due to the very fact that this form of crime is committed by people whom we consider close, love, but above all, with whom we feel safe. Often when we talk about victims of domestic violence, we refer to women. But is this because women have historically been considered weaker or is this supported by statistics? In this research paper, we will deal with how many cases of violence have been reported, the number of victims and perpetrators, and above all we will answer the question: Is there a discrepancy between men and women as perpetrators and as victims in domestic violence. This paper will analyze domestic violence in the entire territory of the Republic of North Macedonia, in a period of seven years, respectively for the period 2017 - 2023. Statistics show that regardless of various campaigns, non-stop work of nongovernmental organizations and activists, and sanctions, domestic violence has not decreased in a period of seven years. That’s why it is important that when we deal with domestic violence, we should first be clear about the proportion between the two sexes, so that the measures taken for prevention but also for helping victims of domestic violence are adapted as much as possible to the individuals to whom they are dedicated.
