President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev: "The issue of classifying domestic violence as a crime has long been discussed in society. Law enforcement agencies doubt the correctness of this assumption. This is due to the fact that it is not easy to identify such domestic situations, and therefore it is difficult to investigate such incidents. The word also has a soul.

However, domestic violence cannot be ignored. If those who destroy a family are not punished, they will become even more depressed. And the victims are completely defenseless. I think it's time to increase the penalties for such acts. Victims should not be afraid of the country's words or pressure from anyone."

According to the head of state, victims should not be afraid of pressure from anyone and stressed that domestic violence should not be ignored in any case.
