Domestic violence today is one of the biggest challenges in the human rights protection plan. Unlimited by geographic, ethnic, status and other factors, it is a global problem whose true proportions can’t be identified because it is largely hidden. The family is still considered the natural and basic unit of society, but the perception of the family as a safe haven for their members is seriously disrupted by the frequency of domestic violence. The complex structures of modern families, the stress, the economic and moral crisis of society, are best seen in disrupted family relationships. Today, it is clear that every member of the family can be both a victim and a bully, and besides the "classical" violence of a man over a woman and a parent over children, there are more and more examples of violence against older family members, women over men and children over parents. Severe consequences of domestic violence hit the victim, who often remains behind the wall of silence and shame for a long time isolated in fear, but also in the whole society. Children are particularly affected because family violence directly violates their right to safe upbringing and upbringing in the family. Even without reliable data on it, it is not difficult to assume that the violence threatens the child's physical, emotional, and social development through violence, with the chances of the child to continue this round of violence sooner or later.
