| Abstract | The article looks at translation of international norms on domestic violence to national level in five Central and Eastern European countries. It argues that translation brings a concept of domestic violence, which stretches gender equality ideas underpinning international norms to be easier to endorse by mainstream policy actors, and results in policies framed in degendered individual rights terms. The potential for keeping gender equality in the focus is then guaranteed by gendering policy processes through empowerment of gender equality actors throughout the policy process. Absence of ownership of the policy by gender equality actors risks co-optation by frames contesting gender equality. |
