Government Resolution No. 294 validating the State Program for the Prevention of Domestic Violence for 2014-2023.

The State Program for the Prevention of Domestic Violence for 2014–2023 is based on the Constitution, national legislation, and international human rights instruments recognized by Tajikistan. The Program aims to strengthen mechanisms for preventing domestic violence, ensure the protection of human rights and freedoms, promote gender equality, and reinforce family stability. It addresses violence against women, children, and elderly family members, recognizing domestic violence as a factor contributing to family breakdown, crime, social instability, and broader public health and social problems.
The document provides an extensive analysis of domestic violence trends, highlighting persistent challenges despite legislative and institutional progress. It notes the existence of harmful stereotypes, high divorce rates, juvenile delinquency linked to family breakdown, violence against women and girls, and related issues such as early marriage, labor migration, lack of parental responsibility, and social vulnerability. The Program refers to statistical data on reported crimes, requests for assistance from crisis centers, and indicators of social distress, emphasizing the need for coordinated preventive, legal, educational, medical, and social responses across the country.
The Program defines its key objectives and implementation directions, including improving legal frameworks, changing public attitudes toward domestic violence, strengthening law enforcement and inter-agency coordination, expanding support services for victims, and raising legal awareness among citizens. It identifies responsible state bodies and social partners, outlines expected results such as reduced domestic violence and improved family relations and establishes monitoring indicators and reporting mechanisms. Funding is to be provided through the state budget and other lawful sources, with coordination and oversight led by the Committee on Women and Family Affairs under the Government.
