Several studies have addressed laws regarding domestic violence against women (DVAW) in Poland and Sweden, however, a comparative analysis of both legal systems has not been accomplished. The thesis fills that gap by addressing DVAW from intersectional theoretical framework perspective. The aim of the thesis is to identify differences between both legal systems and to evaluate which system is potentially better equipped to eradicate DVAW. The application of functional comparative law method allowed to recognize significant differences in several areas, for instance, legislation in regard to migrant women experiencing domestic abuse. The conclusion the thesis arrived at is that despite different legal measures adopted, both states represent similar trend - conviction and clearance rates for DV crimes and confirmed cases tend to be dropping in numbers. It further established that Sweden possess stronger laws towards DVAW, therefore, can potentially be evaluated as better equipped to eradicate and cobat domestic violence.
