Abstract
Domestic violence is intolerable due to the harm it inflicts. It encompasses physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, verbal, and financial mistreatment. This current research aims to illustrate the impact of domestic violence on women's mental well-being. Women subjected to domestic abuse face an elevated risk of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, aggression, dissociation, somatization, and PTSD. The scale of violence against women is astonishing when considering offenses committed by intimate partners and strangers alike. The Fourth World Conference on Women, convened in Beijing in 1995, characterizes violence against women as any act of gender-based aggression that leads to, or is likely to lead to, physical, sexual, or psychological harm or suffering in women, encompassing threats of such actions, coercion, or arbitrary loss of freedom, whether occurring in public or private spheres.
