The Maldives Study, conducted by the Ministry of Gender and Family shows conclusively for the first time that, as in the rest of the world, women of Maldives face various forms of domestic violence. We see that current and previous experiences of domestic violance are associated with a wide range of physical, mental and reproductive health problems among women. For example, women who have experienced violance are significantly more likely to have health problems, emotional distress and thoughts of suicide. In addition, women who have experienced violence, particullary during pregnancy, are significantly more likely to report miscarriages, still births and abortions. Research shows that women, living with violence visit health services more frequently than non-abused women and as such, health professionals can play a crucial role in detecting, referring and caring for women living with violence.
