We scrutinized the contents of movies and dramas against our pre-designed instrument and we assessed their quality against World H…
Disclosure and help seeking behavior of women exposed to physical spousal violence in Dhaka slums
Despite widespread physical abuse, many survivors never sought help. Wide acceptance of violence hampering help seeking needs to be challenged. Increasing disclosure would also enhance help seeking. Awareness rising regarding rights of women to live a violence free life is essential. Although many services are available in the urban area, information about these services needs to be available to women. Promoting education is important in increasi…
