Summary

History

Historical Context

The 1993 UN World Conference on Human Rights first framed domestic violence as a human-rights issue, prompting the U.S. Violence-Against-Women Act of 1994 that funded prosecution and services. Decades later the UK’s 2021 Domestic Abuse Act broadened definitions and protection orders. Today, Sam Wood’s bail denial and DBG Health’s contract loss echo that shift toward stricter enforcement and corporate accountability.
