A brand new invoice proposing the modification of the Penal Code in order to introduce life imprisonment in femicide circumstances has been tabled, Philenews reported on Tuesday.
Femicide is the time period indicating the act of deliberately killing a feminine individual, both girl or woman, due to her gender.
And it’s the end-result of mixed danger elements current on the stage of the person, interpersonal relations, group and society.
Home President Annita Demetriou was the one who tabled the preliminary proposal which has been re-drafted following debate earlier than the Home Authorized Committee.
The brand new invoice is a part of efforts by EU-member Cyprus to abide by amendments of the Council of Europe’s Conference on Stopping and Combating Violence in opposition to Ladies and Home Violence.
