Summary

Domestic violence is a global phenomenon that concerns a broad variety of disciplines and stakeholders. Domestic violence does not discriminate; it occurs in all countries and settings, across all socioeconomic levels, and religious cultural groups.All family types -- nuclear and extended, traditional, same-sex, and all other varieties -- are at risk. Data clearly show that women are more likely to be victims and men are more likely to be perpetrators. Similar acts of violence, if perpetrated outside of the home, would be punishable by law, but the same acts are often accepted when they occur in the domestic sphere. In this chapter, we discuss the problem of domestic violence for women in the global South. The global South encompasses many countries and cultures that share certain developmental characteristics; however, official and societal responses to domestic violence prevention and protection differ. Some countries in this region have passed laws designed to counter domestic violence, but others have not. The psychological sequel associated with domestic violence is concerning.
