This essay examines the complexities in understanding the issues related to intimate partner violence in Slovakia. It explores the cultural factors as well as the EU efforts that influence the quest to implement measures designed to document, eliminate, and prevent violence against women in pre- and post-Communist Slovakia. In addition, this article addresses the general toleration of domestic violence, particularly when it occurs within the Roma ethnic group, and the attitudes of government entities, public authorities, and nonprofit organizations in their reform efforts. This article concludes with some suggestions for future research and policy.
