Violence against women is the most widespread violation of human rights. It has no geographical, economic and social borders. For centuries, women sought to gain more rights and freedom in a traditional society. Which, finally, was implemented with documentary material developed by international organizations (UN, Council of Europe ...) in the second half of the 20th century? It became an instrument for the recognition of equal rights inherent for all family members and for the establishment of freedom, justice and universal peace. Normative acts adopted by international organizations offer a mechanism for the protection of women's rights. They affirm the equality of men and women and provide the means that contribute to social progress and improvement of life under greater freedom. With these documents, international organizations promote effective recognition and realization of the rights and freedoms via national and international progressive measures for the peoples of the member states, as well as for the peoples on the territories under their jurisdiction. The documents highlight the following aspects of gender-based violence: gender selection, violence against women. The goal of the paper is to present international normative acts aimed at the elimination of violence against women, to analyze the challenges arising from the general content of the document adopted by international organizations.
