Sărăcia – factor determinant al violenței domestice împotriva femeilor din mediul rural
Poverty – determining factor of domestic violence in rural environments committed against women

Summary/Abstract: Domestic violence is a reprehensible phenomenon facing modern society, both nationally and internationally. This negative phenomenon is more evident in relation to women because of customs rooted and historically influenced by the patriarchal structure. The patriarchal structure has traditionally exalted the role of men, with the woman always placed in a subordinate position. Domestic violence constitutes a serious violation of women’s fundamental rights and freedoms, protected both by international law and by normative acts issued at national level. The violation of the rights to equality in the family, to dignity and access to justice, are more emphasized in rural areas. The analysis of the aggressor-victim relationship shows that in 2021, 71.0 % of victims of domestic violence are from rural communities and 29.0 % of urban ones.[6] While prevention and response to domestic violence requires a multidimensional approach, identifying the causes of this form of violence will contribute to understanding the phenomenon and to the evolution of society as a whole.
