What is the procedure for issuing a protection order?

The Government Resolution defines the procedure for issuing a protection order to women who have suffered from harassment and violence.

A security order is a document that provides state protection to a victim of harassment and violence, entailing the application of measures of restraint against a person or group of persons who harass women or have committed violence against them.

A security order is issued by the (senior) inspector for the prevention of a stronghold of the internal affairs bodies.

🔰 The following are grounds for issuing a security order:
• treatment of the victim of harassment and violence;
• messages from individuals or legal entities, including those distributed through the media and (or) social networks;
• direct identification by employees of authorized bodies and organizations of cases of the commission or attempted commission of harassment or violence;
• materials of state bodies and other organizations.
Personal data of persons reporting harassment and violence, as well as women who have suffered from harassment and violence, are protected in the manner prescribed by law.

✅ Inspectors for the prevention of internal affairs bodies examine appeals and messages received from duty units within 24 hours.
