Introduction
Women all over the world are facing domestic violence. The vulnerable female populations include women who are disadvantaged due to social, physical, and psychological risks. In the present study, the issues related to women in the US who are affected by domestic violence have been discussed. The US health system can play an important role against violence. In some countries, guidelines or rules have been introduced to control violence but progress and execution of such rules are quite slow. Specifically in developing countries, behavioral hurdles and extensive systems are main obstacles.
