Violence against women in the family

Abstract

Violence against women in the family is a problem affecting our society in which the roots of patriarchy continue to be the source (of reproduction) of gender-based violence. The paper presents some of the domestic research on violence against women in the family in order to see which forms of violence they are targeting. Also, on the basis of secondary material, forms of psychological, emotional and economic violence are described, which victims of violence find more difficult to recognize and are thus not aware of being exposed to them. Based on the data of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Serbia, data on registered acts of domestic violence in the period from 2013 to 2017 are presented.
