Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women explained in the case of A.T. v. Hungary that a victim of domestic violence was unable to flee to a shelter, because none was equipped to accept her together with her children, in particular one of whom who was fully disabled. According to the Committee, the State should ensure that a safe home was given to the victim, in which she could live with her children, and that the victim should receive proportional reparation to the physical and mental harm endured.
