The purpose of the present study was to investigate the concept of violence against women in the poems of four contemporary Iraqi poets including Rassafi, Zahawi, Siyab, Malaekehand and their point of views on the phenomenon of violence against women by referring to their poems based on cultural critique and applying the descriptive-analytical method. Violence against women is a bitter phenomenon with a long history, having physical, psychological, sexual, social and economic dimensions that still exist in human societies. The results of the study indicated that the poets had reflected different types of violence against women, such as denial of women participation in the community and their enjoyment of scientific and cultural development, using women as sexual goods, contempt, threats to divorce and wandering, maltreatment, physical punishment, and denying their right to choose a spouse. The poets had also been severely affected by sexual deviation of women caused by the pressure of poverty, the lack of support and social organizations, and unfair slaughter of women based on the tribe tradition of wiping out disgrace. These posts have considered that the education of a noble, free and brave generation for the community depends on women's enjoyment of an honorable life.
