Results of the survey on woman right's and domestic violence
In this article, I would like to introduce and analyze three questions' results in detail, which were particularly impressive.
First, the question "Have you ever experienced psychological violence?"
By this question, almost two thirds of all responders answered Yes.
This result indicates that the percentage of people who have experiences psychological violence is higher than the percentage of people who are physically violented. When asked specifically from whom they experienced psychological violence, many said from family members, including fathers and mothers.
This survey convinced us that many people have experienced psychological violence, but that this fact is hidden from the public. We have to try to improve this situation.
Next question is... "Have you ever heard if the phrase "economic violence"?"
To this question, many(80 % of all responders) said they did not know about economic violence. In other words, many people think of physical violence when they hear the word, violence
Unlike the psychological violence, very few people are aware of economic violence. Therefore, I felt that many people needed to be made aware of the existence of economic violence other than physical violence.
Finally, many believe that underlying the psychology of people who engage in violence is the ideology of people who engage in violence is the ideology of disrespect for the opposite gender.
We would like to eliminate the disrespect for women that underlies people′s thinking and to improve women's rights.
To sum up, we would like to uncover the hidden voices of victims of physical violence as well as victims of violence that is not generally recognized as "violence".

I think it’s great that you focused on three important questions from your survey. I was especially surprised that so many people answered “yes” to experiencing psychological violence. It shows that this type of violence is very common, even more than physical violence, but often hidden. I also agree that more people need to learn about economic violence. Many people only think of physical harm, so your work helps raise awareness. One suggestion is to explore how physical violence often starts with smaller actions, like controlling money or words. This could help prevent worse situations later.
