چکیده مقاله :
Violence against women is a universal reality and is common in all countries, cultures and societies. This violence appears in various forms such as physical, sexual, emotional, neglect, negligence, and child marriage, and ultimately results in emotional divorce, formal divorce, escape, suicide, and the breakdown of the family unit. In order to reduce such kind of violence each country has common program such as increasing the society awareness and specific interventions for target groups. One of these specific programs in Iran is “Social Emergency services”. Its characteristic is ‘be specialized”, “be on time” and “be available”. Safe house centers (shelters) with the aim of protecting and supporting women and children from domestic violence is another specific program that has been launched since 2014. Results show that this program by helpline (123) and mobile social services has been able to empower 15721 violent women during 2019 by delivering specific services (social, psychological, increasing awareness, teaching, covering and supporting). A review on the experience of countries shows that increasing public awareness about violence against women, holding training courses, specialized meetings and reviewing the law can have an impact on controlling and decreasing violence.
