E/C.12/MNE/CO/1 Domestic violence 17. While welcoming the adoption of the Law on Protection from Domestic Violence and the amendments to the Criminal Code to improve protection measures for victims of domestic violence, the Committee remains concerned at the lack of their effective implementation in practice and at inadequate access to justice for victims. It also regrets the lack of a data collection mechanism to analyse trends and monitor progress (art. 10). The Committee urges the State party to: (a) Take effective measures to combat domestic violence and ensure that relevant legislation prohibiting domestic violence and granting protection measures to victims is implemented effectively in practice; (b) Promptly investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of domestic violence and ensure the provision of effective remedies to victims; (c) Establish a comprehensive data collection mechanism on violence against women, including domestic violence, disaggregated by sex, age, and relationship between the victim and perpetrator, and carry out an in-depth analysis of the data and utilize them to devise targeted policies and strategies to combat all forms of violence against women. Trafficking in persons 18. While noting the measures taken to combat trafficking in persons, including the creation in September 2013 of the new post of national coordinator on trafficking in persons, the Committee remains concerned at the low number of prosecutions and the lenient sentences imposed on traffickers, the limited capacity of law enforcement authorities to identify victims of trafficking, and the lack of protection and compensation provided to victims (art. 10). The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Take further measures to ensure the protection of victims and effective investigation and prosecution of perpetrators of trafficking, including adequate training of law enforcement officials and members of the judiciary; (b) Strengthen the collection of data on the victims, perpetrators, investigations and sanctions in relation to trafficking in persons, including on the sanctions imposed on law enforcement officials involved in trafficking; (c) Provide adequate medical, legal and social assistance to victims of trafficking, and ensure their access to judicial remedies, including compensation. Early and forced marriages 19. The Committee is concerned that the practices of early and forced marriage are still prevalent within certain communities (art. 10). The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its measures to combat the practices of early and forced marraige, in particular among the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities, including by raising awareness about the prohibition of early and forced marriages and about the negative consequences of these practices. The State party should also collect data on such practices, disaggregated, inter alia, by age, sex, and ethnicity or nationality. 6
