The article analyzes the regulatory and legal support for combating and preventing domestic violence against women. It is provided statistical data that in 2020, the authorities and institutions (that are obliged to implement measures in the field of preventing and combating domestic violence) have received 211,362 appeals regarding the domestic violence; 2,756 – from children, 180,921 – from women, 27,676 – from men. It has been concluded that the ratification of the Istanbul Convention is still open, which helps all the signatory states to effectively counter a wide array of phenomena, including psychological violence, physical violence, sexual violence, forceful rape, forced marriage, forced abortion, forced sterilization, mutilation of female reproductive organs, crimes committed in the name of “honor”, persecution, sexual harassment, etc. In addition, the world community has repeatedly insisted and continues to insist on the need to ratify the Istanbul Convention, because after signing this Convention, Ukraine has committed itself to ratify it in the future. It has been established that the regulatory and legal support for combating and preventing domestic violence against women consists of a set of international pacts, declarations and conventions, the legislative and subordinate normative-legal acts. It has been found that the number of notifications of violent acts committed against women is increasing every year, and therefore, the legislator should work towards preventing any manifestations of domestic violence by amending the legislation that regulates preventive measures.
