Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a range of
abusive behaviors including physical,
sexual or emotional abuse
perpetrated by one partner upon the
other to gain and maintain control. It
happens in the family home and
sometimes the children and other
members of the family are involved
Reasons behind
violence
The reasons behind violence against
women in the home are partly cultural and
partly related to the traditional division of
tasks between the sexes. Most men find it
natural to take first place and do not want
the status quo to change. Violent men
think they have every right to dominate
their wives, to make them do certain things
Effects of violence
Women may be affected in a number
of ways. They may experience loss of
opportunity, isolation from family or
friends, loss of income or work,
homelessness, emotional and psychological
effects such as experiences of anxiety,
depression or lowered sense of self-worth,
poor health, physical injury or ongoing
 Homelessness research has found that
domestic violence is "the single most quoted
reason for becoming homeless". This study
found that 40% of all homeless women
stated domestic violence as contributor to
their homelessness.
Injuries were often sustained as a result of
domestic violence.
 Domestic violence has also a detrimental
impact on employment. Among employed
women who suffered domestic violence in the
last year, 21 per cent took time off work and
two per cent lost their jobs.
Violence against women has serious
consequences for their physical and mental
health. Abused women are more likely to
suffer from depression, anxiety,
psychosomatic systems, eating problems and
 Not only have the women experienced the
effects of violence. Their children can also be
affected. When domestic violence takes place
in a family where there are children, the vast
majority of those children know it is
happening and in 80% of cases they are in the
same or next room. 
Children can experience both short and long
term cognitive, behavioral and emotional
effects. They are individuals and may

recover from domestic
Victims of violence
violence often face a wide
range of struggles. They often question what has
happened or what they may have done to cause
or prevent it. Many wonder how they will heal
and why they cannot connect with their loved
ones as they once did. Many will also exhibit
fear, anxiety, and depression and these will
gradually decrease over time. It is also common
for victims to feel anger or frustration as they
 The first step towards recovering from
domestic violence is to help the victims of
violence to liberate themselves from the
violent men’s control and provide women
with all necessary support.
Women can seek the help of their family
and friends and when they are ready to talk
about their experience.
Children should also be identified as
victims of domestic violence, and their right

helping the victims of domestic violence.
Several welfare associations and emergency
services offer assistance by opening
residential centers where women can
receive psychological support as well as
financial support.

Summary
This paper attempted to determine
how women who are abused by their
partners can recover in spite of its difficulty
to deal with it.
The research design used in this study
is the descriptive research method wherein
data is collected to describe the nature of
the situation and explore the cause of a
particular phenomenon. It is used to
1. The reasons behind violence against
women are partly cultural and partly
related to the traditional division of
tasks between the sexes. Men find it
natural to take first place and do not
want the status quo to change. Men are
viewed to be strong and superior while
women are weak and subordinate only.
2. Women suffer from the violence of
their partners in a number of ways.
They may suffer not only from physical
violent attacks but also from emotional
and psychological effects. These
effects can be devastating to a
woman’s life.
3. Recovery of women from the violence
of men is an ongoing gradual process.
Conclusion
1.Most women find difficulty to recover
from the violence of their partners. They
are physically injured, emotionally
abused and psychologically affected by
their sadistic partners. They suffer from
the consequences brought by the
violence and still few of them survived
from such occurrence.
2. Women are not only affected by the violence
done by their partners. Innocent children can
witness domestic violence. They are also being
affected and later results to directly abusing
themselves. Most of them were emotionally
abused.
3. Women cannot escape the fact that most men
are still traditional. Men find themselves the
right to dominate their wives. They expect their
wives to perform a particular action and forbid
others and behave in certain manner. If women
4. One reason why most women find it
difficult to recover from the violence of
their partners is that they can leave them
right away. Women are frightened to
desert their partners because they are
threatened by their husbands to harm
and even kill them and their children.
5. Women who were abused violently by
their partners may have already
physically healed but the pain of being
Recommendation
1. In analyzing the difficulty of women to
recover from the violence of men, it is better
that one has insights about the situation
and behavior between men and women.
One must understand the roles of each
gender in the family before judging and
evaluating. There must be a proper mindset
from the researchers of this study not to be
bias because it might lead to more
2. Future researchers must allocate longer
time with this study since the topic is
interesting and motivating. There must be
more information gathered from a number
of women who experienced brutality from
their partners. Researchers can determine
how women deal with the situation and
how they ask for the assistance from
professional health workers or even
ordinary people who can help them solve
