BISHKEK (TCA) — Kyrgyzstan’s President Almazbek Atambayev took an important step toward curbing violence against women when he signed a new domestic violence law and accompanying legislation on April 27, Human Rights Watch said on May 10. The law, which replaces a 2003 version, includes measures to improve protections for victims of domestic abuse and strengthen police and judicial response.
