The authors use the method of comparative analysis of the current legislation of Kazakhstan and other countries in the field of social protection of people subjected to domestic violence and in need of social assistance. Currently, Kazakhstan has adopted the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which comes into force on 07/01/2023, and according to the authors, it requires significant improvement proposed in the article. One of them is the inclusion in the code of victims of domestic violence as a category of subjects of social protection.
