Domestic violence (also named as domestic abuse, battering, or family violence) is a pattern of behaviour which involves violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence against women can be categorized as physical, sexual, psychological or economical violence. It can be seen that women exposed to such types of violence develop physical or psychological problems, even in some cases the violence ends up with domestic homicide or suicide. It is thought that an educational program which will enable these women to reconstruct their self-esteem and look to the future with hope with healing and developing skills should be prepared. Therefore, Elimination of Violence Communication Training Program was prepared and it is aimed to find the effectiveness, positive/negative conditions occurring during the application of the program or the shortcomings of the program. In this experimental research, pre and post-test control group design was used. The duration of the application of the study was 16 sessions (48 hours). Quantitative data were gathered through "Family Evaluation Scale", which highlights the dimensions of domestic violence against women within the family; "Violence within the Family Scale", which highlights the violence experiences; "Communication Skills Evaluation Scale", which highlights the communication skills; "Life Satisfaction Scale", which scales the life experiences of the participants. In addition, the quantitative data were supported with observation forms, interview records and forms including participant opinions. The participants of the experimental group showed no meaningful relationship between their pre and post test results in terms of communication skills, whereas the sub-categories of violence within the familyverbal violence, emotional response of family functionality, and behaviour control- showed meaningful relationship in favour of post-test and it was found that the mean of pre and post-test results of the experimental group showed an increase in favour of post-test in terms of all dimensions of the scale.

Domestic Violence Against Women

The trend of violence against women in Nigeria has increased more than ever recently, with many women having been deprived of their fundamental rights. Violence against women in Nigeria includes sexual harassment, physical violence, harmful traditional practices, emotional and psychological violence, and socio-economic violence. This article investigates cases of domestic violence against women in South West Nigeria by assessing the role of family courts in the adjudication of such cases. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed to examine incidents of violence against women and the role of the family courts in ensuring justice. The author employed both primary and secondary sources of data; the data gathered were analysed by frequency and simple percentages, while qualitative data were descriptively analysed. The article reveals the causes of domestic violence against women to include a cultural belief in male superiority, women’s lack of awareness of their rights, women’s poverty owing to joblessness, men seeking sexual satisfaction by force, women having only male children, the social acceptance of discipline, the failure to punish the perpetrators of violence, the influence of alcohol, and in-laws’ interference in marital relationships. It also reveals the nature of domestic violence against women. The research revealed that the family courts have played prominent roles in protecting and defending the rights of women. The author therefore recommends that the law should strengthen the family courts by extending their power to penalise the perpetrators of violence against women.

The aim of this research is to investigate whether there is a meaningful difference in the academic success, between the students who are applied the "formula t-shirt method" (experimental group) and the students who are not (in other classes of the school), in the education for the scientists wanted to be taught in the secondary school 5th, 6th and 7th grade science textbooks. Semi-experimental method was used as research method. In the 6th grade, 27 students participated in this study as experimental group (students wearing t-shirts) and 49 students in the other classes of the school that did not participate in the study. Academic achievement test including pre-test and post-test, informative observations, students’ and teacher’s interviews as well as 20 printed t-shirts were used to collect data. The pilot study of the developed achievement test was applied in another school and also the item analysis of it was performed. According to the research findings, when the experimental group’s success post-test results from the application performed, were examined in line with the interviews, significant differences were observed. It was seen that the subjects aimed to be gained with the formula t-shirt method, were adopted by the students and also increased their success. Looking at the results of the research, thanks to wearing the t-shirts prepared by using the human body on the background, and the reconciliation of the students wearing with the scientists on t-shirts, the desired learning was provided. This also contributed to such learning techniques as peer learning, active learning, social learning in terms of visuality and integrity. It is thought that these materials developed with the formula t-shirt method, will also inspire researchers for future studies in terms of their usability in other fields and subjects

Life is certainly not a fairytale and in this kind of situation, “happily ever after” is not very common. These are the stories of five women-survivors of domestic violence who dreamed of having a happy family, but in the end, their dreams contradicted reality. This interpretivist qualitative study was designed to look into a deeper understanding of collective accounts of women-survivors of domestic violence. The narrative inquiry was employed using the in-depth interview method. The study revealed that these women experienced various forms of domestic violence and were caused by men’s bad habits, problems arising from the family, and jealousy of a man or a woman. Several strategies were employed by these women to improve their lives. This tough decision to free themselves from the abuse made them better individuals, developed a stronger bond with their children, and increased faith in God.   Keywords - Domestic Violence, Violence against Women, and Children, Survivors

Beck Hopelessness Scale

Kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT) mendominasi kasus kekerasan terhadap perempuan (KTP) di Indonesia. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan korban KDRT mengalami dampak psikologis, seperti depresi dan ide bunuh diri. Meskipun memberikan dampak yang negatif, masih terdapat wanita yang menerima dan membenarkan KDRT yang dilakukan oleh suami. Selain itu, banyak juga korban yang memilih untuk keluar dari siklus KDRT. Temuan tersebut menunjukkan respon wanita tampak berbeda terhadap pengalaman KDRT. Keputusasaan merupakan salah satu faktor yang diteliti pada wanita korban KDRT. Wanita korban KDRT yang putus asa cenderung mengalami kesulitan dalam mengambil keputusan, terutama keputusan untuk berpisah dari pelaku kekerasan dan keluar dari siklus kekerasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui gambaran tingkat keputusasaan pada 52 wanita yang pernah mengalami kekerasan dalam rumah tangga di Indonesia. Metode penelitian bersifat kuantitatif deskriptif dan data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). Hasil menunjukkan 68% partisipan penelitian memiliki keputusasaan pada kategori sedang. Partisipan yang tidak bekerja, berlatar pendidikan SMA/SMK, tidak atau belum memiliki anak, tidak melaporkan, dan tidak memiliki dukungan sosial cenderung memiliki skor keputusasaan yang lebih tinggi. Keterbatasan jumlah partisipan menyebabkan generalisasi hasil penelitian terbatas. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat mengkaji partisipan dengan cakupan wilayah dan latar belakang budaya yang lebih luas. Latar belakang budaya tentu menjadi salah satu faktor yang memengaruhi keputusasaan serta keputusan wanita yang mengalami KDRT untuk berpisah atau tetap berada pada siklus KDRT yang dialami. Violence against women in Indonesia is dominated by domestic violence. During the pandemic situation, the victim may become hampered in reporting the case. Previous studies show that domestic violence might bring psychological impacts to the victim, like depression and suicidal ideation. Hopelessness might affect the response among victims. Previous studies reported that women who experienced domestic violence had moderate to high levels of hopelessness. They tend to show poor decision-making and hard to break the violence cycle. This study aims to describe the level of hopelessness in 51 women who have experienced domestic violence in Indonesia. The research method is descriptive quantitative. Data were collected using Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). Results showed 68% of participants have moderate level of hopelessness. Participants with no occupation, high school educational background, not reporting the case, and do not have social support tend to have higher score of hopelessness. This study provides information about levels of hopelessness but the generalization of the result is limited due to the limited participants and cultural background. Further research should describe more number of participants with wider cultural background.
