Studying Domestic Violence against women in Pakistan: Systematic Reviews:

Domestic violence against women is an inevitable phenomenon that Pakistani society has been facing for a long time. This research aims to examine the content of published researches in the field of domestic violence between 2000 and 2020 using a systematic review method. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 titles have been selected and analyzed from the collection of 729 researches published in these two decades. According to the findings, the effective factors of domestic violence against women include individual factors, socioeconomic factors, incorrect interpretations of religious teachings, and family factors. According to research, the negative consequences of domestic violence are physical and mental injuries. Also, policies and solutions to control and reduce this phenomenon have emphasized the intervention of the government and the participation of non-governmental organizations. It seems that domestic violence has become a social phenomenon under the influence of cultural norms and incorrect religious interpretations, which requires a refinement between the religious culture and the culture of Pakistani society with the aim of removing religious interpretations as a justification for violence.
