“…This finding is in line with earlier research, where 16% of working women with domestic violence reported solving their problems independently (Stewart et al, 2021;Ararat et al, 2014). Such female victims could do so out of shame and not wanting people to know what is happening in their lives.…”

This study investigated about lived experiences of domestic violence and coping strategies among female secondary school teachers in Uganda. The study employed qualitative approach within 23 secondary schools in Kitgum District. While through snowball sampling the study targeted all female teachers in these schools, who are victims of domestic violence, only 20 teachers who agreed to participate became the sample of the study. Furthermore, all the 23 head teachers of these schools participated in the study through purposive sampling. Data collection took place through in-depth interviews and data analysis took place through the thematic approach. While some of the domestic violence cases that took place include being beaten, tortured and injured, the victims used multiple ways to cope with the situations. The study recommends faith-based interventions as potential remedy for women who face domestic violence through deploying religious workers like school chaplains or other appropriate religious person to give support to such victims. The study further recommends supportive policy frameworks mainstreamed on tools for empowering female teachers and head teachers on support system for female teachers affected by domestic violence to allow them supportive work environment as well as provision of guidance and counselling experts in schools to provide similar services.

“…Next, survey respondents were asked if they had ever experienced specific abusive behaviors from a current or previous intimate partner. The list was modeled on behavioral descriptions of different types of violence used in a Turkish survey of domestic violence experienced by working women (Ararat et al, 2014). Adjustments and additions to this list were made with the guidance of the project’s Steering Committee.…”

The present study adds to the small body of research that illustrates that when individuals are experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) at home, they are impacted at work. Data were collected using an anonymous web-based self-report survey of workers in Saskatchewan, Canada. Survey results demonstrate that IPV is prevalent among the workers surveyed. Half of all survey respondents reported that they had experienced IPV, and for 83%, it impacted them in work in at least one way. Some respondents had lost a job as a result of the abuse. In addition, the survey found that some respondents who had experienced IPV did not identify as having experienced IPV, demonstrating the need for increased public awareness about IPV. Recommendations for workplace responses to IPV are offered.

Policies that prevent women from participating in labor force, mobbing at work, husbands' not allowing their wives to work, women's fulfillment of all responsibilities related to child care and women's not having economic freedom due to such factors as lack of access to education can lead to an increase in economic violence 38 .…”
