Abstract
Combating domestic violence is an important vector of the development of modern legal thought. The article's purpose is a comprehensive analysis of the status and innovative methods of protection of victims of domestic violence in Europe. To achieve this goal, the author uses content analysis of professional literature, the legislative framework of EU countries, and reporting materials. The results show that the alarming statistics of domestic violence highlight its deep-rooted nature and reveal an alarming feedback loop that exists among different age groups. In particular, younger women are most affected. In Europe, various legislative protection instruments are applied at the EU and national levels, and international standards are also considered. Ensuring access to justice, protecting public health workers, providing shelters and ensuring confidentiality, and promoting specialised lines of communication with victims are all part of a comprehensive approach to combating the problem. The conclusions note that the models of combating domestic violence and protecting victims in the legislation of European countries have several common features. These include forced and prompt separation of the abuser from the victim, prohibition of the abuser to approach the victim, public condemnation of the abuser (especially in Europe), and psychological correction programmes for abusers.
