The article examines protection from violence as a constitutional guarantee of human dignity. Based on Articles 13, 26 and 78 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the laws on protecting women and children from violence, the protection system is divided into three stages: prevention, protection and recovery. It is argued that the protection order is the main tool for an early response to violence. Recommendations are made to ensure continuity between the stages.
