Violence against women is a human rights issue and a major public health problem. The objectives of this study were to determine the magnitude and type of emotional and physical domestic violence perpetrated by fathers on mothers of female students of a private university. A total of 564 questionnaires were duly filled and returned with a response rate of 94.0%. The most common form of violence was reported by 93 (16.5%) of the respondents who witnessed their fathers either saying or doing something to humiliate the respondents' mothers. While the most common physical violence witnessed was fathers slapping their mothers as reported by 39 (6.9%) of the respondents. Empowerment of women, and effective endeavours in education of both sexes are important steps towards addressing and preventing domestic violence.
针对妇女的暴力行为是一个人权问题，也是一个主要的公共卫生问题。本研究的目的是确定一所私立大学女学生的母亲所遭受的来自父亲的情感和身体家庭暴力的程度和类型。共发出 564 份问卷，回收率为 94.0%。93 名（16.5%）受访者报告称，他们目睹父亲说或做一些羞辱受访者母亲的事情，这是最常见的暴力形式。而 39 名（6.9%）受访者报告称，他们目睹的最常见的身体暴力形式是父亲扇母亲耳光。增强妇女权能，以及在两性教育方面进行有效的努力，是解决和预防家庭暴力的重要步骤。
