Rogers, Michaela. “Domestic Violence and Abuse and Hidden Groups.” Domestic Violence in Health Contexts: A Guide for Healthcare Professions, 2019

The article was authored by Michaela Rodgers from the department of Sociological Studies at the University of Sheffield in the UK (Michaela, 110). The author states that Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) affects many individuals irrespective of their backgrounds, experiences, and social characteristics. DVA is discussed as a complex universal problem that affects families and individuals, occurring across ethnic, cultural, gender, and religious boundaries (Michaela, 120). The writer argues that DVA can affect people who are hard to reach, people with a learning disability, and minority communities (Michaela, 115). Therefore, this information is of great importance to the learners in establishing that DVA can affect learners’ performance irrespective of their culture, religion, ethnicity, and gender (Michaela, 115). This background information helps researchers to establish diversity arguments that will cater to every individual boundary about domestic violence. “This chapter turns the lens towards some of these hidden, and hard-to-reach, communities, to enable the reader to see beyond the dominant picture of DVA to illustrate that DVA is a complex global phenomenon affecting a concerningly high number of individuals and families, occurring across cultural, ethnic, religious, age and gender boundaries.”
