2022 m. lapkričio 25 d. sėkmingai įvyko tarptautinė konferencija „Teisinė pažeidžiamų grupių apsauga: tendencijos ir perspektyvos“. Renginyje pranešimus skaitė mokslininkai iš Lietuvos, Latvijos, Estijos, Lenkijos, Slovėnijos ir Kroatijos, pristatę savo tyrimus pažeidžiamų suaugusiųjų, vaikų apsaugos ginkluotuose konfliktuose, aukų teisių, neįgaliųjų teisių bei kitais aktualiais pažeidžiamų grupių teisių apsaugos klausimais.
Kaip renginio organizatoriai itin džiaugiamės, kad pažeidžiamų grupių apsaugos tema sulaukė tokio susidomėjimo – renginio klausė beveik 100 dalyvių iš Lietuvos ir užsienio šalių.
Renginio metu buvo pristatyta prestižinėje „Springer“ leidykloje išleista Teisės instituto mokslininkių dr. Agnės Limantės ir dr. Dovilės Pūraitės-Andrikienės redaguota knyga „Legal Protection of Vulnerable Groups in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland“. Šioje knygoje siūlomas naujas požiūris į pažeidžiamų grupių teisinę apsaugą bei pristatoma išsami pažeidžiamų grupių teisinės apsaugos reglamentavimo ir praktikos lyginamoji analizė. Šį išsamų tyrimą parengė mokslininkai iš keturių šalių – Lietuvos, Latvijos, Estijos ir Lenkijos.

Prieš metus priėmus Lietuvos Respublikos baudžiamojo kodekso pataisas kriminalizuotas persekiojimas yra rimta visuomenės sveikatos problema ir žalinga viktimizacijos forma, sukelianti fizines, socialines ir (ar) psichologines pasekmes aukai. Lietuvoje vienas iš šešių apklaustųjų yra patys patyrę persekiojimą, o kas ketvirtas savo aplinkoje pažįsta nuo to nukentėjusių žmonių. Visgi net 61 proc. šio sistemingo, įkyraus ir nepageidaujamo elgesio aukų apie patirtą persekiojimą niekam nepranešė. Šiuos duomenis atskleidžia Lietuvos socialinių mokslų centro Teisės instituto (LSMC TI) tyrėjų baigiamo įgyvendinti projekto „Stalking and Its Relation to Domestic Violence: Perception, Prevalence and Response in Lithuania“ (PERARA) metu atlikta visuomenės nuomonės apklausa.

Diskusijos metu su suinteresuotomis institucijomis bus aptariamos tyrimų pagrindu parengtos rekomendacijos.
