Abstract

Background and Aim: A person is more likely to become a violence victim in his/her family than outside the family. The purpose of this study was to investigate Domestic Violence, especially Violence against Women, in families in Herat Province, Afghanistan. Materials and Methods: A total of 130 female victims referring to support centers in Herat, Afganistan were selected using the accessible sampling method. A researcher-developed questionnaire was used to collect data. Results: No woman older than 40 years referred to the centers, and the age of 65. 4% of those referring was below 30 years. The proportions of the women suffering from psychological, physical-plus-sexual and economic violence were 42%, 29% and 26%, respectively. In addition, 65. 4% of them had been married for at most 5 years and only 10% had been married for over 10 years. Further analysis of the data showed that about 60% of the clients were illiterate and only 13. 8% had a bachelor's degree; 72. 3% of the victims were housewives and only about 21% had freelance or office jobs; more than 70. 2% of the victims were at the lowest income level, and about 76. 6% had married with their own accord. As regards the victims' spouses, 88. 5% were under 40 years of age, 57. 7% were illiterate and 29. 2% were high school graduates. In terms of occupation, they were typically non-employed and had private jobs (13. 8% workers, 22. 3% farmers and 40. 8% freelance). Furthermore, 95. 4% had been married for the first time and 97. 7% had one spouse. Finally, 83% of them (83. 8%) were not addicts. Conclusion: The most frequent complaints were related to psychological violence. Clients were typically under 40 years of age with a marriage history of less than 5 years. A typical victim in this study was a young illiterate woman who was financially weak; had a young, self-employed, loweducated spouse who had been married for the first time; had no other spouse; and was not a drug addict.
