In the next month, on our website www.hcabl.org and on our Facebook and Instagram pages, follow a series of texts in which we analyze in detail the articles of Directive (EU) 2024/1385 on suppressing violence against women and domestic violence.
This Directive entered into force in June 2024 and represents a legally binding instrument with which our state laws must also be harmonized.
The first text we bring analyzes in detail Articles 3 and 4 of the Directive, which expressly mandate that female genital mutilation and forced marriage are criminalized.
Genital mutilation includes all forms of procedures that deliberately change or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons, while forced marriage can generally be defined as the union of two people in marriage without the full, free and informed consent of one or both parties, which is the result of the application of force.
