sometimes the children and other

members of the family are involved

The reasons behind violence against

women in the home are partly cultural and

partly related to the traditional division oftasks between the sexes. Most men find it

natural to take first place and do not want

the status quo to change. Violent men

Effects of violence

Women may be affected in a number

of ways. They may experience loss of

opportunity, isolation from family orfriends, 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 womenstated 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 beaffected. 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

Ways on how can women

recover from domesticviolenceVictims of violence often face a widerange of struggles. They often question what has

happened or what they may have done to causeor 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 ofviolence to liberate themselves from the

violent mens 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

Government also plays an important role in

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.

Recovery is an ongoing gradual process. It

doesn't happen through suddenly being

cured and it doesn't mean that a woman will

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.

their partners in a number of ways.

violent attacks but also from emotional

and psychological effects. These

effects can be devastating to a

womans life.

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 arethreatened 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
