Conclusion The main reason why we decided to choose this topic is that domestic violence is a global problem. It is the problem involving individuals no matter how old they are and where they are from, and what their social-economical status is; it is a problem within a family, no matter if they grew up in a religious or a non-religious home. Violence affects our lives, our homes, and our society.   We should be aware of the size of this problem. Social statistics show how and in which quantity this kind of violence affects our society. It‘s not a problem that could be ignored or resolved with a simple cliche.
