The Weather in a House – is the Reflection of the Situation in the Country

The climate in the family - is a reflection of what is happening in the country. Socio-economic situation in the state affects the position and mood that prevails in every single cell of society. This circular relationship was discussed at the meeting, held at the site of the capital's state administration. Public Council of Tiraspol and Dnestrovsk organized these hearings in order to hear different opinions on legislative regulation of issues related to domestic violence. Representatives of various social and religious organizations, Tiraspol administration and members of the local and the Supreme Council were invited to the discussion.
One of the main spotlights during the negotiatition was law-in-draft “On social and legal protection from domestic violence”. One of its signatories, Vice-Speaker Sergei Cheban said that the initiative to combat all forms of domestic violence (physical, psychological, sexual, economic), was developed on the recommendation of the chief expert of the UN Human Rights in Pridnestrovie Thomas Hammarberg. The President, after becoming acquainted with his report, issued a decree ordering the work carried out on the adjustment of legislation in the spheres underlined by the Ombudsman. Discussed law-in-draft is based on the model law proposed by United Nations in 1996 and supported by many countries of the world. Its rules, according to Sergei Cheban are not dogma. The community has been involved to this public discussion at the stage of the first committee consideration. The initiative has caused serious public resonance. Many people are afraid of the spread of European trends, which are damaging to family values. Participants of the meeting talked about orthodox canons and Soviet traditions, which kept the family in the conventional sense we have. Particular attention is given to the participation of the state and the authorities responsible for education, social support law enforcement activities. Some people have referred to Russia, which does not have such a law. Others based on the positive experience of Belarus.
The resolution was adopted based on the results of the hearings which stated that in the current edition of the adoption of the law-in-draft “On social and legal protection from domestic violence” is not possible. According to participants, the document requires more detailed consideration and integrated approach. Sergey Cheban under the curtain of the meeting once again focused on the fact that the law-in-draft in the form proposed by parliamentarians is unprincipled. It is important to solve the problem. It is to be resolved which purpose tools will be used. Concluding the discussion, Galina Antyufeeva proposed to continue the discussion in a broader format in the course of the conference organized by the Supreme Council.
