Abstract

Violence against women is a serious violation of women's human rights and a significant health issue in many countries. As domestic violence is a subject of high concern in the different countries, there has been considerable research into the topic of domestic violence generally, though comparatively less is known on health care providers roles related to domestic violence. Health care providers are usually frontline professionals that victims of violence get in touch with, even sometimes not explicitly. Therefore, health care providers' skills and attitudes are very important when giving a hand to victims of violence professionally.
