Domestic violence is a global issue that cuts across cultures and boundaries. Domestic violence
needs to be addressed seriously irrespective of the cultural norms of a society that prevents us to
recognize the prevalence and widespread existance of this problem. This paper will discuss on
domestic violence against women in eastern society. Discussion on the nature of domestic
violence is followed by a case study that highlights the pain and anguish suffered by the victims
in Malaysia. Focus of analysis in the case study will be on the types of violence against women
and coping strategies adopted by the abused in the ‘culture of silence’ as according to Hofstede
(1984), traditional Asian values of privacy, honor, self-restraint, harmony, and order. Finally,
this paper highlights the importance of empowering women through education and training. |
