CoE calls on its member countries to take measures to combat against
family and women tortures. It urges to apply legislative, legal,
budget and educational methods in this respect.
The results of the polling, initiated by the order of the CoE, revealed
that family tortures are the most common in the CoE member countries.
Women are mainly subjected to sexual torture. This type of torture
doesn’t know geographical boundaries, age, cultural identity and
social status. The issue is socio-political and demands the attention
of all CoE member countries.
