Human rights are violated when males or boys use violence against women or girls. When it comes to domestic abuse, it is estimated that one in three women will experience some kind of gender-based violence at some point in their lives. The number of women who have been abused by a romantic partner or a non-relationship sexual partner is estimated to reach 736 million. For years, the world’s leaders have recognised its seriousness. In 1995, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action said that violence against women must be eliminated. Within the “UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” a worldwide goal to abolish “all kinds of violence against women and girls in public and private spaces” was added. Global action was called for in 2016 by the “World Health Assembly’s” Resolution 69.5, which urged a national multisector approach to combating violence against women and young girls. In spite of all of these responsibilities, 49 countries still don’t have a clear policy on domestic abuse. Lower and lower-middle-income women nations are particularly vulnerable to this violence, which has long-term effects on their health and well-being. In the world’s poorest nations, women aged 15 to 49 have a lifetime frequency of domestic abuse of 37 percent. One in every four women who have ever been in a relationship has been a victim of domestic abuse at some point in their lives.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>BRICS</kwd><kwd>domestic violence</kwd><kwd>women</kwd><kwd>gender</kwd><kwd>abuse</kwd><kwd>law</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Andreeva A. et al.
