“…This can be reflected in local popular sayings such as "After all, he's your husband; he can both love you and beat you" (Kocacık, et al 2007). This type of saying causes and perpetuates the violence against women and perpetrators use this type of saying in the justification of their violence.…”

Violence against women being a global epidemic that kills tortures and maims women physically and psychologically. The most common and widespread form of the violence is domestic violence. Violent behaviors such as beating, pushing, slapping or throwing things by family members; sexual, emotional, economic violence against women in the home, within the family or in a relationship is considered as domestic violence. Domestic violence is common place in Turkey though majority of women do not justify its occurrences as indicated by different nationwide studies conducted in Turkey. Instead nearly half of women who were subjected to violence remained isolation and overwhelming majority of victims avoided to get help from status apparatus. This study attempts to find out that why nearly half of women who are subjected to physical violence in Turkey did not share their experiences of violence to anyone before these studies. This study regards the patriarchal system and practices as the obstruction which deter overwhelming majority of women who are subjected to physical violence to express their suffering and seek help from state apparatus.

“…Other factors conditioning domestic abuse in ethnic minority families may be stresses resulting from migration, status loss in the new country and social isolation (Lewig, Arney & Salveron 2010;Szczepanikova 2005), as well as relatively high levels of domestic violence in countries of origin (Douki et al 2003;Kocacik, Kutlar & Erselcan 2007). Immigrant fathers may also feel their positions undermined by wives receiving state support or entering the labour market (Liversage 2014;Strier & Roer-Strier 2010), leading some to seek to assert their dominance within the private sphere.…”

While ethnic minority children today experience parental separation almost as often as the majority of Danish children, research on how they experience divorce is limited. Hence, this article applies a mixed methods approach to investigate post-divorce father-child contact for ethnic minority children compared to Danish majority peers. Drawing on survey data, the article documents how ethnic minority children are more likely than their Danish majority peers to have either no contact with their fathers or see their fathers for shorter durations. Drawing on qualitative interviews with adult and child members of post-divorce ethnic minority families, we propose that the observed differences in post-divorce father-child contact can result from the lower socio-economic position of the members of such families, be tied to higher thresholds for divorcing, and arise from different understandings of the role of the father in the ethnic minorities' home country cultures as compared to the Danish host society.
