Romania has dramatically increased penalties for crimes of violence against women and murder. Under the new law, those who kill women can be sentenced to 15 to 25 years in prison or life in prison.
The law was signed by the country's president and is aimed at strengthening the safety of women and children. According to officials, the decision was made due to an increase in domestic violence and murder.
According to the latest data, in the first 8 months of 2025, Romania recorded 33 murders, most of which were committed against women.
