Targeting Men in Intervention to End Violence against Women

In order to resist violence against women in Bangladesh, effective intervention targeting the husbands is the only breakthrough. Husbands are the main predators of violence against women. The formal health care services have the capacity to attain the health problem of the abused wives. However, most of the wives who are victims of violence, don’t go to the formal health care services. The only solve to this health hazard is to address the husbands, both individual and community level, in an effective manner in order to change their behavior towards violence.
The Health and Science Bulletin (Vol. 4, No. 2) on Domestic violence against women in Bangladesh published by ICDDR,B Center for Health and Population Research reflects the overall scenario of domestic violence against women in Bangladesh. This qualitative research was done in both rural and urban area in order to study the prevalence and consequences of domestic violence against women and their coping strategies.
