abstract="This article examines domestic violence criminal prosecutions and addresses what ‘effective’ prosecutorial action means in such cases. The argument elaborates on a point recently articulated by the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, which links effective prosecution of violence against women to the creation of a less patriarchal society. The article concludes that ‘effective’ prosecution of domestic violence means prosecution which constitutes the State as less patriarchal ceteris paribus.<p />",
