Domestic Violence: Consequences, Causes and Preventive Measures

Abstract

Present study is envisioned to review consequences, causes and preventive measures of domestic violence. Area of domestic violence is carefully chosen on the bases of findings of several researches and insight of the researchers. As, domestic violence is the serious issue for social reformers, academicians and researchers. Although, agencies/institutions of legal services have been constituted across the globe to prevent domestic violence. Also, due to increasing literacy rate, sensitizing programmes, research-based policies and NGOs efforts, domestic violence is studied and tried to prevent. No doubt, all efforts are made but question is that really, we flourished? Perhaps, no, even in view of innovation of technology, manifestations of domestic violence are changed. If we consider a very small example, women are not allowed to make phone calls and to attend phone calls. So, it realizes that why a woman should go for legal services? Aged persons are forced to live in old age homes. Why not we frame a module/psychological support system and awareness programmes or some preventive measures at earliest period to throw this humiliation from the society? Therefore, present research focused on all these issues and includes review-based findings in view of different types, causes and preventive measures of domestic violence. Preventive measures are needed to throw domestic violence from society.
