Abstract

Women's domestic violence in India and Tanzania is deeply entrenched, influenced by historical, cultural, and socio-economic factors. In ancient India, diverse roles for women coexisted, but gender hierarchies were institutionalized in legal texts. Regional variations added complexity. In Tanzania, traditional gender roles and colonial impacts contributed to societal acceptance of domestic violence. Causes include traditional beliefs, gender inequality, substance abuse, and lack of education. Economic dependence and historical practices, like the dowry system in India, contribute to the persistence of domestic violence. Legal reforms, education, economic empowerment, and community engagement are recommended. The study, employing a descriptive design and the documentary method, underscores the need for holistic interventions that challenge ingrained societal attitudes and celebrate women's human rights in both countries.
