Domestic violence, Girl Children, Victim, Witness, Impact, Intervention

Domestic Violence against girl children is a pervasive and alarming issue worldwide, with profound implications for their physical, psychological, and social well-being. This paper explores the dual role of that many girl children endure as both witnesses and victims of domestic violence within their homes. Drawing upon a range of scholarly literature and empirical research, this paper examines the complex dynamics of domestic violence, its impact on girl children, and the challenges they face in seeking assistance and support. Studies suggest that children witnessing abuse may suffer indirect effects, impacting cognitive attributes more significantly. The long-term consequences of exposure to domestic violence can lead to emotional and psychological harm, affecting mood regulation, self-esteem, academic underachievement and overall development into adulthood. Furthermore, this paper highlights the importance of multi-sectoral interventions aimed at preventing and addressing domestic violence against girl children, including legislative measures, community- based support services, and educational programs. By shedding light on this critical issue, this paper underscores the urgent need for concerted efforts to protect and empower girl children affected by domestic violence.
