  • Tougher stance on torture, with acts of extreme cruelty now punishable by up to seven years’ imprisonment.
  • Enhanced measures against domestic violence, including isolation orders and a specialized police unit.
  • Life imprisonment for severe crimes against minors, such as murder, rape, or sexual assault.
  • Introduction of criminal liability for sexual harassment of individuals under 16.
  • Increased sentences for child abduction and illegal deprivation of minors’ liberty.
  • No reconciliation exemption for crimes against minors, aiming to protect victims from returning to abusive situations.
  • New regulations to combat minor suicides, bullying, and cyber-bullying, with parental accountability for young perpetrators.
  • Establishment of support systems, including a call center for family issues and Family Support Centers, with mandatory psychological assistance for offenders.
