Root motives for not reporting violence which lead to revictimization.
The female victims tend to keep silent until the situation has become more and more catastrophic and reaches a breaking point. The current work highlights the main causes for not reporting abuse to the authorities.
Women did not report violent incidents to the authority, which represents a major problem in the community. The most common cause of un-notification authorities are culture or religion belief (32%), benefit of kids (fear from take them or abuse them) (32%), then family’s fame (16.2%), Financial dependency (10%), Fear of more abuse (6,1%), Loneliness (3.7%). Other reasons presented by respondents based to the authorities who are reluctant to help victims of domestic violence and not treating matters seriously enough. Low charge and conviction rates are at odds with policy positions that ‘domestic violence is a crime. Women were more likely to talk to someone else about a violent incident than they were to tell police or contact a specialized agency. Some 75 per cent of women spoke to someone else about a violent incident involving an intimate partner.95 Most spoke to a friend, a neighbor or an immediate family member.
