Abstract

Violence against women is considered as a major factor in causing physical, mental and psychological damage to women. The aim is to know the impact of sociological factors of domestic violence on women. The research method is survey. The statistical population was 15,721 victims of violence referring to the social emergency in the country. The sample size was determined 389 violent women, according to Cochran's formula and were studied by simple random sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire, while the fish tool was used to collect statistics and information in the archive. The findings of the analysis of the country's social emergency statistics show the prevalence of violence in the age groups of 30 to 39 years old. The results of the correlation coefficient show that violence against women is related to social norms and values, social failure, socio-economic base of couples, patriarchal attitudes, social dignity, unemployment, poverty and addiction. The highest correlation is related to the patriarchy variable with a correlation coefficient of 0.561 and the lowest is related to the social status variable with a correlation coefficient of -0.132. Violence against women is mainly influenced by cultural and social structures and especially gender socialization, therefore changing the attitudes, subcultures, opinions and gender beliefs of the people of the society along with the education and empowerment of women and also improving the structural situation of the society in the economic fields social, cultural, legal and political reasons for preventing, controlling and reducing domestic violence are important
