In the world, one woman in every three women experienced violence in
their lifetime. In our culture as Kurdish culture, patriarchy is one of the
most common things and men always realize that they are above women
and they have more power. Because of that, this essay will be presented
to show what the violence against women is?
Introduction
Many centuries have come and gone, man has evolved, technology has
developed, the world has grown and people have changed, but violence
against women still seems to be prevalent across the globe. Women
continue to be discriminated against, exploited, oppressed, degraded,
humiliated, and have often been treated as second-class citizens.

6. Approximately %82 of the students thought that violence against
women changed in the different areas, While %18 of the students
thought that violence against women doesn’t change in the
different areas.
7. And %69 of the students thought that women’s beauty affects the

Yet these institutions created, only shed more light on the magnitude of
the issue at hand. Data indicates that in the past year violence against
women has dramatically increased and still is on the rise. According to
official statistics, more than 5000 cases of violence against women were
reported in 2013. In far more than 10% of the reported cases, victims

have lost their life. Over 300 cases dealt with women burned to death
(Source: Ministry of the Interior MOI). This is only the tip of the
iceberg. Social stigmatization of women affected by violence is
common. Many cases remain unreported, as victims fear further
punishment and marginalization.
If ignored, the consequences of these violent acts will be far greater than
the challenge today. New forms of violence have been added to existing
forms. Women are helplessly exposed to sexual and domestic violence,
sexual harassment, kidnapping, and murder. Honor killings and
burnings are considered some justified forms of punishment. Above all,
institutions and facilities created to assist women continue to fail to
provide adequate protection and necessary services.
