For no clear veasons, the victims hide the existence of violence among family members, or it may be forgotten or overstated.Lack of statistical information or different interpretations are among other obstacles. Most of attitudes toward violence consider it in individuals characteristics or at family level. Most feminist theorists find these kinds of interpretations inadequate and believe there are so much far that they can intensify the violence they put on emphasis on inequity available in society and social organizations among men and women.They pay much attention to men alominants over women and according to this viewpoint, violence is not considered as an interpersonal interaction, but it is more a group interaction. Violence is called a supervisory equipment and even a ruling one that reflects the inequity in relations between men and women.Considering all the research done in Iran, the wrong data and misunderstandings will be revealed.
