By discussing the global literature, legal systems, methodological challenges of gathering information on domestic violence, and health systems issues, along with learnings from case studies, it fills a significant gap in the literature between health care policy and practice vis-à-vis victims of domestic violence. It therefore enables a systemic and systematic response to incidents of domestic violence. Policy instructions, court verdicts, government interventions, community-based direct interventions and related case discussions in the book help in the understanding and management of cases. Though the book uses case studies from India, it addresses globally relevant issues for health care professionals. In view of the paucity of application of systematic evidence-based knowledge, the holistic perspective presented in the book is important to prevent domestic violence, protect women’s rights, and promote healthcare and wellbeing of women and children facing domestic violence.   Medical professionals are expected to intervene in instances of injuries related to domestic violence—a responsibility that they are currently unable to fulfill due to lack of training in recognizing abuse and lack of tools for intervention. This book improves hands-on-knowledge by providing information on where to refer victims for assistance and timely intervention. Comprehensive yet lucid, this book is useful for academics, policy makers, non-government organizations and women’s rights groups in helping victims during and after a violent episode and also in improving reporting and referral services.Public healthSocial serviceSex (Psychology)Gender expressionPublic Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002Social Workhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20090Public health.Social service.Sex (Psychology)Gender expression.Public Health.Social Work.Gender Studies.362.82920954Mahapatro Meerambikaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut784705BOOK9910300304103321Domestic Violence and Health Care in India1745058UNINA
