Description :
Domestic violence is a global problem that reaches national and economic fronts, differences in culture, race and class. This problem is not only widely dispersed geographically, but its incidence is also extensive, making it a typical and accepted behaviour. Domestic violence is widely prevalent and has a negative impact on women’s health and well-being. Its continued existence is not morally justifiable by argument. Its costs to individuals, to health systems and to society is enormous. The purpose of the existing research is to report the spread of various forms of domestic violence against women, analysing data on domestic violence against women in India and suggesting some measures. Domestic violence management requires a joint effort by law enforcement, social and health care services. Although efforts are being made in this area, attended cases represent just the tip of the iceberg, as most of the cases are not reported as a result of social pressures from family members or social discrimination. Real change in these cases can only be brought about by changing the mindset of society through education and better law enforcement are the only ways by which concrete changes in these cases can be brought about.
Key Words: Domestic Violence, widely prevalent, mindset of society.
