Abstract

Domestic violence, a pervasive and deeply concerning issue, continues to cast a long shadow over societies worldwide, with developing countries facing unique challenges in addressing this problem. This paper delves into the complex landscape of domestic violence in developing nations, aiming to scrutinize its current state, summarize research findings, and explore various theoretical perspectives to better comprehend the underlying dynamics. The multifaceted examination encompasses an elucidation of fundamental concepts related to domestic violence, a delineation of the specific human rights infringed upon by this scourge, a comprehensive evaluation of the existing situation in developing nations, and a discussion of viable solutions to mitigate this crisis. Ultimately, this research aims to create a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing domestic violence in developing countries. By thoroughly exploring its various facets, we hope to provide insights that will contribute to the development of more effective intervention strategies and the safeguarding of the rights and well-being of women who are disproportionately affected by this issue, particularly in developing nations where unique challenges demand special attention and action.
