Procedurile judiciare care sunt generate de violențe asupra femeilor au înregistrat creșteri semnificative la nivelul instanțelor judecătorești arondate Curții de Apel Iași, din 2019 până în 2023, conform datelor statistice furnizate de aplicația informatică ECRIS, utilizată pentru gestionarea eficientă a dosarelor.
În cazul infracțiunilor de violență în familie, statistica a demonstrat că cele mai multe cauze au ca victime femeile, fie că se produce o vătămare a integrității corporale sau a sănătății, fie chiar decesul acestora. Astfel, la nivelul judecătoriilor din județele Iași și Vaslui, s-a constatat că, în decurs de 5 ani, 82% din infracțiunile de violență în familie au avut ca victime femeile.
Există multe cazuri în care violența asupra femeilor îmbracă forme de ridicată periculozitate, atât prin materialitatea acțiunilor exercitate de agresori, cât și prin întinderea în timp a acestora, iar cazuistica recentă a relevat că se produc recidive ale acesteia asupra aceleiași victime, din partea aceluiași agresor.
Cu toate că ordinele de protecție sunt într-o creștere semnificativă, înregistrându-se o dublare a numărului acestora, perseverarea pe cale infracțională, prin încălcarea ordinului de protecție în mod repetat, indică nevoia de analiză a eficienței instrumentelor juridice actuale în diminuarea violenței domestice exercitate majoritar asupra femeilor.
