A Qualitative Research on Domestic Violence

Violence against women is one of the main unpleasant aspects of the family life while implying a kind of abnormal and unconventional relation. Children and women are exposed to the domestic violence and within a vertical relation which is established by means of exercising power, force and denying the rights by the man individually and regardless of the women>s condition and characteristics, it causes physical, sexual and mental harms or depravity and torment during which both the individual and society are hurt and heavy expenses are inflicted on them. According to the sociological studies conducted in this respect worldwide, in many cases women cannot and do not want to ask for help from the police, courts of law and judiciary against their husbands because of experiencing fear, shame and a sense of humility, therefore they basically hide «domestic violence» against them. That is why they seek refuge with individuals and magazines that listen to their grievances and help them indirectly. One of these magazines which have maintained continuous relation with their readers and audience every week is «Zan-e Rooz» (Woman of the Day). Pages of all issues of the magazine on «We counsel with you» and «Incoming stories» which reflect on domestic violence, have undergone a qualitative research and content analysis in three important historical junctures (wartime, reconstruction era and modern age) in order to find the nature, time of occurrence and tool of violence and the extent, reasons, types, result,… of this phenomenon. Eventually, the article predicts ways of reducing violence and introduces the role of the policewoman as one of the main and legal axes while clarifying how the policewoman would be able to play a role in reducing violence against women.
