[17] 7 January 2018, Law No. 2229-VIII On Preventing and Combating Domestic Violence presents "an integrated approach to combating domestic violence," as well as a framework for developing necessary tools. More importantly, it criminalizes domestic violence and distinguishes between physical, sexual, psychological and economic domestic violence — something previously unseen in Ukraine. The law also requires the establishment of shelters, additional hotlines, a unified state register of investigations of domestic violence and social programs for victims.
