Violence Against Young Women Is Common Among First-degree Relatives
Regarding the identity of the aggressors, the most prominent aggressors against women are first-degree relatives.
Dr Maha Al-Sajari indicated that the results of the exploratory study according to the social and demographic variables of the study sample in all governorates of Kuwait indicate a strong desire to establish shelters, a hotline, and centers for social and psychological counseling for abused women. She said there is a high demand in the Kuwaiti society, especially among the youth group, to establish shelters for abused women. The study also revealed that the father, husband, and mother mostly engage in violence toward women and that verbal violence is the most common type of violence among members of the study sample. Dr Lubna Al-Qadi explained that the results of this study are consistent with the World Health Organization statistics, stating that 30 percent of women in society suffer from violence and that the aggressor is a first-degree relative of the victim.
