The article is devoted to the analysis of the aspects of providing legal assistance to women victims of domestic violence in Ukraine. Due to our analysis, we have demonstrated that in Ukraine, legislative documents have been developed at the legislative level to prevent domestic violence and the observance of women’s rights, and forms of domestic violence have been identified (psychological, physical, sexual). The main standards of the regulatory framework of Ukraine are consistent with the Istanbul Convention. In practical work, law enforcement agencies interact with social services, medical institutions, forensic medical examinations and many others to provide timely, fullfledged assistance to women in cases of detected domestic violence, and in each case develop a system of measures to prevent, promote and prevent domestic violence. A positive aspect in the modern legislation of Ukraine was the establishment of restrictive measures for persons who committed domestic violence in the form of a ban on staying in a place of cohabitation with a person who suffered from domestic violence; prohibitions of approaching a place or person who has suffered from domestic violence, etc. Attention is drawn to the fact that for the first two violations, the person who committed domestic violence can be held administratively liable, and for the third time, criminal liability. Recommendations are given on conducting a forensic examination in cases of domestic violence against women, in which, in addition to the mandatory points reflected in the Rules for the Examination of Victims, Accused and Other Persons, aspects of an ethical approach are noted to reduce the psychological trauma of women during examination. It was emphasized that the issue of beatings, torment and torture falls within the competence of the bodies of pre-trial investigation/court and is not the competence of forensic medical examination.

Domestic violence or Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the form of violence against women (VAW) that is most reported to the police in Liberia. This violence cuts across class, ethnic, religious, and age lines (Liberia Institute of Statistics and Geo-Information Services, et al. 2008) and results in psychological trauma, physical injuries, and, in some cases, death. Societal beliefs that frame domestic violence as a regular part of life serve to legitimize and foster the problem in Liberia (Allen and Devitt 2012; LISGIS et al. 2008) and pose a challenge to the state and to international organizations (IOs) and women's nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that have introduced measures to combat domestic violence since the end of the country's 14-year civil war in 2003. One such effort is the Women and Children Protection Section (WACPS) of the Liberian National Police (LNP), established by the government in collaboration with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and other international partners in 2005. Although the section was established primarily to address rape, its officers are mandated to investigate all forms of VAW, including domestic violence.

Study Population

Domestic violence was identified as a major contributor to the global burden of ill health in terms of female morbid-ity leading to psychological trauma and depression, injuries, sexually transmitted diseases, suicide and murder. The study was conducted to find out the prevalence of different types of life time domestic violence against women; fac-tors associated with it and care seeking behavior. An observational cross-sectional study was done among 260 ever married women of 15-49 years of age using a predesigned pretested pro-forma from April 2011 to January 2012 by face to face interview. Data were compiled and analyzed by Epi Info 6 version and SPSS 17 version. The overall prevalence of any form of violence during the life time among the study population was 40.4%. Verbal/psychological violence was the most common form of domestic violence (85.7%) followed by physical (71.4%) and sexual violence (57.1%). Slapping and or beating, kicking, object throwing were the major forms of physical vio-lence; humiliation (91.1%) was the commonest form of psychological violence and most common form of sexual violence was forced sexual intercourse (58.3%). About 21% of the study population faced violence every day. Older age, lower age at marriage, longer duration of marriage, lower education of husband and wife, lower family income, unemployment of the husband and alcohol consumption of husband were associated with occurrence of domestic violence. We have found that the prevalence of domestic violence in this group of population is high. The alarming issue is that approximately one third of women (31.24%) who faced violence in their life-time had never sought any help. The findings indicate to develop appropriate and culturally relevant public health interventions to increase awareness and implement policies regarding violence against women.

This study used the National Violence Against Women Survey (NVAWS) of women and men to estimate noncohabitating dating violence prevalence by type (physical, forced sex, and stalking), associations between dating violence and other types of interpersonal violence across the lifespan, and association of dating violence with longer-term mental health including substance abuse. Among respondents aged 18 to 65, 8.3% of 6,790 women and 2.4% of 7,122 men experienced physical aggression, forced sex, or stalking victimization by a dating partner. Few (20.6% of women and 9.7% of men) reported more than one type of dating violence. Childhood physical aggression by a parent or guardian was strongly associated with subsequent dating violence risk for men and women. Dating violence (physical aggression specifically) was associated with current depressive symptoms, current therapeutic drug use (antidepressants, tranquilizers, or pain medications), and current recreation drug use for women. Implications for parents, survivors, health care, and service providers are discussed.

Violence against women generally has attracted the attention of many scholars globally. This study examines the violence against women perpetrated by the Boko Haram insurgency in the affected area of North Eastern Nigeria, where the Boko Haram insurgency is more predominant. For the purpose of this research convenient sampling was used to explore the experiences of women. A qualitative method of data collection was used. Both secondary and primary data was obtained through face to face individual interview where the original information was gathered from 18 victims of Boko Haram violence in Maiduguri, Borno state capital. The research discovered that the violence experienced by women in the affected areas is both physical and psychological. However, the physical violation has been more pronounced, as women are used for suicide bombings and are as well sexually abused. Many women went through sexual violence; the threat of being killed and later on serves as suicide bombers under Boko Haram insurgent’s custody. While some are still suffering from psychological trauma particularly those who witnessed the killings of either their children, spouses or other relatives. Furthermore, these women are mostly into small scale businesses in their homes such as knitting of caps, small poultry farms, animals fattening and etc but they were forced to abandon everything and ran for their lives. The study recommends psychosocial support to the victims and the provision of economic empowerment so as to enable the women to restart their businesses to give them a sense of belonging since most of them are business-oriented. This will help in making them adjust to new positive and favourable lives.

Violence against women is a common issue that has existed in every time period regardless of education, age, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic condition and place. It is an important social and health issue that shakes the foundation of family, damages every member of the family. It has psychological, social and cultural layers and concerns every part of the society. According to the report published by WHO in 2013, one out of every three women is subjected to physical or sexual violence. Violence against women which maintains its importance globally is also one of the important health and social issues in Turkey. In a 2014 study conducted in Turkey, 38% of the women -in other words, 4 out of every 10 women- between the ages of 15-59 reported that they had been subjected to violence by their current or former spouse/fiancée/boyfriend or by their close circle of family or friends. Among these violence victims, 6 out of every 10 women reported that they got injured 3 or more times. The fact that nearly half of these injuries required medical treatment reveals that violence poses a great threat to the physical health of women. In addition to this, the physical and the psychological trauma caused by violence might continue for a long time. Health services is one of the fundamental and primary services from which women who are subjected to or under risk of violence can get “help”. However, violence against women is not an issue that can be overcome just by the healthcare personnel. It can be prevented by the joint efforts of institutions such as healthcare, social services, security, justice and ministries and by their interdisciplinary collaboration while the multitude of its reasons is taken into consideration. In this study, the importance of team work and the role and the responsibilities of the dentist in the intervention of violence against women are dealt with.
