Abstract

It is undeniable that women play a crucial role in families, societies, and nations, and it is difficult for communities to survive without them. This immutable realism is a natural phenomenon to comprehend societal goals. Domestic violence (IPV) is a problem that has had a long history and has evolved along with humanity. Despite several legal and punitive efforts, the issue persists and must be addressed to accomplish the intended consequences for societal cohesion by protecting the importance of women's rights. In addition to mental illness and women's depression brought on by domestic violence, society is also experiencing negative impacts that, in the end, prevent the achievement of sustainable development objectives by destroying the countries. Intimate partner violence (IPV) seems to be linked to the victims' personalities, yet its negative ramifications affect the whole community. This study will look at a situational analysis to see whether the present legislative framework is suitable by fixing flaws or in some other manner to accomplish the conditions for sustainable development goals.
