| description | In this article a very brief history of violence against women in domestic settings is developed. On the whole, 18 Focus
group discussion (FGD) (including 4 pilot FGDs), were conducted in southern part of Teheran Capital of Iran among
different groups of people (literate, illiterate, married, unmarried, male, female). Further, 30 individual interviews conducted
with violence and family affaire experts such as police, forensic medicine experts, psychologists, social-workers,
authorities, judges, and sociologists. Findings demonstrated a very traditional problem-solving approach to violence and
violence-based issues. Moreover, violence is sometimes justified by natural superiority of men to women. It is also
considered as a necessity for some purposes and therefore, it is accepted and may continue to exist among families and
community for coming years. Public and private spheres are almost genderly divided and formal institutions and
organizations are tried to be kept away from family violence related issues. This is mainly because of a belief that domestic
violence belongs to private sphere rather than public one. |
