Sažetak
The paper deals with the prevalence of violence against women and the variety of
forms of violence that put women in a humiliating position in societies where vio-
lence is justified by tradition, culture and custom in addition manifestations of op-
portunistic legislation. International and domestic documents, available scientific and
professional literature on the protection of women from violence were analyzed and
presented using the descriptive method, and statistical data on women who suffer,
have suffered or died as victims of violence in different parts of the world and in Bos-
nia and Herzegovina were collected. The research results show that women around the
world are exposed to various forms of violence despite criminal legislation equipped
with legal tools and societies that proclaim the protection of women’s rights. In the
conclusion, the need for quick, clear and decisive actions of the criminal legislation
towards the perpetrators of violence against women is emphasized, as well as the ne-
cessity of changing attitudes and raising the awareness of society about the need to
suppress violence against women, in order are to build a safe society for women.
