| Abstract: | Domestic violence against women is a common social problem. The psychological, physical, and economic effects of this problem are deep-rooted and unresolved. The purpose of this research is to conduct a qualitative study to highlight the impact and consequences of domestic violence on women. In this paper, various previous studies on the issue of domestic violence against women are reviewed. . The literature included was authored between 2007 and 2016. The research in this paper is based on current methodologies of data gathering and interpretation. The study was conducted using a qualitative technique. Accordingly, in-depth research questionnaire and group discussion have been used to complete the research. The participants in the study were deliberately selected by quota.
The study shows that domestic violence against women is a widespread problem in the community. Although various efforts are being made to reduce domestic violence against women, t additional efforts are needed to address this pervasive issue. . The study also found that there is a deep l gap of awareness in the community about the prevalence of domestic violence and its effects. Additionally, women who are victims of domestic violence do not often speak up to endure the abuse for a variety of reasons including lack of protection from perpetrators.
Although various institutions are working to reduce domestic violence against women, the study shows that in order to make a dent in solving this issue that a new strategy needs to be developed on many fronts. First, it is necessary to create a better understanding and raise awareness of the depth of the depth of the problem in the community. This strategy should include an effort to rehabilitate perpetrators and use their voice to condemn violence against women. . Furthermore, the study suggests all the stakeholders in the community should be included t to address the problem. |
