The role of a victim in domestic violence can be complex and multifaceted. Victims often find themselves in a vulnerable position, being physically, emotionally or sexually abused. They may experience fear, shame, humiliation, and a sense of hopelessness. Many victims of domestic violence feel trapped in their own homes and face difficulties in trying to get out of a violent situation. However, it is important to note that victims of domestic violence cannot bear the blame for what is happening. They are victims of violence, and the responsibility for violence lies entirely with the abusers. Victim support and the creation of safe protection mechanisms are important aspects of combating domestic violence and helping victims rebuild their lives. This topic in the Russian Federation is of a global nature, since domestic violence often leads either to severe physical injury or to the death of the victim, and responsibility for such crimes is not fixed at the legislative level.
