Abstract

The present study seeks to report the different types of violence Iranian and Indian violence victims have experienced during their life. For this purpose, 400 Iranian and Indian women were randomly selected from Iran and India. Domestic violence questionnaire was implemented to find out the type of violence experienced by the selected participants. After data collection, Contingency coefficient analysis was used to find out the relationship between country and selected parameters. Results indicated that most of the violence reported was sexual violence followed by physical abuse, however, physical abuse and emotional abuse was found to be more in Iranian victims and verbaland financial violence was found to be more among Indian victims. Majority of the respondents were sufferers of violence more than 3 years. Regarding the highest amount of violence, partner involvement was reported to be the first, which was more in Ira.
