Domestic violence or disturbance refers to violence between spouses or spousal abuse but can also includes co-habitants and non-married intimate partners.It is perpetrated by both men and women. In cities all over the world, girls and women feel most unsafe alone in the street and home as well.Although the women have become empowered in recent years, there is still a long way to go for the women in Bangladesh.They are still subject to different forms of abuse including psysical abuse,emotional abuse,intimidation,economic deprivation and threats of violence.

Sociologists say that the home of the women are the most unsafe place for women.Many women are now victims of these kind of abuse.Their feelings are repressed,their opinions remain unheard in their homes.If something goes wrong in the household the women are blamed for it.This way,the women are constantly under mental pressure.It compromises the health,security and dignity of its victims.

Many women living in Dhaka city are sometimes beaten by their spouses even their in laws.This is very  unfortunate that inspite of the women have become educationally and economically very powerful,yet they are subject to many types of violence.
