Background: Domestic violence is one of the most common problems of public health that can be occurred in families and can lead to physical, psychological, and economic consequences individually, family, and social level. The present study was aimed to determine domestic violence of married couples from the Viewpoint of women. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study 547 women referring to health centers of Marand in 2018 were participated. Sampling method was the convenience sampling method. For data collection, Socio-demographic and the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) questionnaires were used. Descriptive (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage of frequency) and inferential statistics, including t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: Results showed that domestic violence against men (98.3%) and women (98.5%) has a high prevalence. Women have experienced more violence in the psychological, physical, and sexual dimensions and men have experienced more violence in the negotiation and injury dimensions. Conclusions: The most important message of study beyond the comparison of the numbers and the operative or the victim of violence is the insecurity of the family environment for women, men, and children, which can have serious consequences for the family and society in the future. According to the importance of family as one of the essential elements of a healthy society, a preventative proceeding is required.

“…It took the researchers four months to administer the questionnaire to the students.

Despite the outstanding benefits of education to the individual and society, some students in Nigeria are saying education/schooling is a scam. No study has been undertaken to determine why students say education/school is a scam. This study aims to provide empirical evidence on the meaning of the slogan 'education/school is a scam', why the students are using the slogan and the way out. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from students in public schools/institutions in two states in Nigeria. The findings show that the slogan means that uneducated people are doing better financially, and many graduates are unemployed. They also show that the students are unsatisfied with the Nigerian educational system. Poor societal values, unemployment, and poor curriculum were reasons the students gave for using the slogan. They suggested that government should provide work for graduates and that the curriculum should be more practically oriented toward skills acquisition. The implications of this study's findings include an update of existing theories on the factors that influence students' attitudes and beliefs about education and the need to tailor education policy, teaching methods and curriculum to meet the needs of students. This study provides empirical evidence for the slogan 'education/school is a scam'. Further studies are needed to confirm this empirical evidence in other states in Nigeria using in-depth interviews.

This research article delves into the pervasive issue of sexual violence against women in Pakistan, shedding light on the intricate web of factors contributing to its alarming frequency and the abysmally low conviction rates. The study explores historical perspectives, societal norms, and the role of various stakeholders in perpetuating an environment where sexual violence persists. From an Islamic standpoint, the gravity of rape, known as Zina bil jabar, is emphasised by the required penalties in the Quran and historical traditions. The article critically analyzes the performance of stakeholders within the Criminal Justice System, identifying flaws in investigation procedures, victim-blaming, societal pressures, and the often-tedious trial processes. The authors argue that while laws exist, their implementation falls short, resulting in a negligible 3% conviction rate. The study explores the implications of out-of-court settlements and societal attitudes, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach beyond punitive measures. In conclusion, the research calls for a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of rape in Pakistan. To guarantee victims receive justice, it promotes progressive societal attitudes, new laws, and a reform of the criminal justice system. The author stresses that to make Pakistan a safer place for women, there needs to be a concerted effort to tackle the underlying causes of sexual assault.
