Under the Women’s Charter in Singapore, family violence is an offence. Victims under the law are entitled to protection and dignity, guaranteed by a system capable of enforcing timely protective actions. The following acts fall under family violence:
o Intentionally or knowingly causing hurt
o Placing a family member in fear of hurt
o Harassing to the extent of causing emotional or psychological damage
o Wrongfully confining or restraining movement
The Family Justice Courts can issue several protective orders aimed at stopping the violence.
• Personal Protection Order (PPO)
A PPO orders an abuser not to harm the victim anymore. It usually involves a simple court appearance.
• Expedited Order (EO)
An EO is a short-term protection order the court can issue on the spot for victims facing serious and immediate danger.
• Domestic Exclusion Order (DEO)
A DEO from the court orders the abuser to leave the home, even if that person owns or rents the place and gives the victim a safer living environment. A DEO can also exclude the offender from parts of the home.
• Counselling and Mandatory Treatment
The judge can also order the offender into counselling or other treatment run by the Ministry of Social and Family Development.
