Cover Story: The paper discusses the cultural roots of violence against women (VAW), focusing on the interplay between individual gender norms, moral justifications of VAW, and institutional gender norms. It provides an overview of 12 countries (Armenia, Cyprus, Czechia, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine), considering individual gender role attitudes and justifications of wife beating, national legislation, and the position on the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence to address this topic. The paper suggests that eradicating the cultural roots of VAW is more difficult in societies where, alongside traditional gender roles and a  patriarchal culture in legislation, moral views legitimize violence as a form of punishment for challenging prescribed gender roles. View this paper
