Introduction
Domestic violence is an offensive behavior that occurs within families where the less privileged ones are put under control of the other, and results in distress. It embraces a range of abuses, for example, verbal, emotional, physical and sexual assaults. Aspects such as isolation of one from family and friends, destruction of property, psychological abuse and financial abuse are also included (NCADV.org, 2016). Studies have revealed that women and children are more vulnerable to domestic violence than men. It is essential to note that also women commit these offenses although their occurrences are less common than that of men. Additionally, the domestic violence occurs in all socio-demographic groups, religions, and cultures. Ground on the consequences of this problem to the society, a number of theories have been formulated to help fix the situation. One of them is the feminist theory, which is commonly defined as a measure to end oppression, sexism and sexist exploitation. Henceforth, the study focuses on the effects of domestic violence on children and how the theory can help in alleviating this problem.

Throughout the past the feminist theory was perceived as women associate model; however, today it has been advanced to accommodate all genders. Through shifting its focus in society away from females’ experiences and perspectives, the concept has fashioned more creative and inclusive social models. Part of what makes the theory inclusive and creative is that it over and over again considers how systems of oppression and power interact (Mills, & Mullany, 2011). In other words, it does not only focus on gender, oppression, and power, but it also cooperates with systemic sexuality, racism, disability, nationality, among other aspects. Henceforth, the feminist theory is reflected as a notion that women and men should be equal socially, politically and economically (O'Reilly, 2016). And that is what is termed as the ‘core feminism.’ It is also defined as a measure to end oppression, sexism and sexist ...
