Amidst all the forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV), Domestic Violence (DV) is a universal phenomenon that differs in its scope from one society to the other. It is not only detrimental to women’s overall health including their survival but can also become a risk factor for their ill health. There exists a natural tie between the domestic violence and health care. Profound impact of violence on a large number of women’s health and on their health care seeking behaviour makes it pertinent for the health care delivery system to recognize and respond to it.
