The journal is about the effects of domestic violence on the children. It is a kind of research conducted to fourteen women and two men who were raised in the families where domestic violence was high. The author’s main aim was to educate the people, especially those who carry out gender violence, how it dangerous to the children and also the mothers. The authors find out that when there is gender violence, women and children suffer a lot, and they tend up having psychological health issues (Buchanan, 400). The journal is relevant to my topic since it points out some effects of gender violence to children like mental illness, school dropout, and lack of basic needs.

The journal is about the interventions which the concerned bodies should have to ensure that the children subjected to gender violence are not negatively affected psychologically. The authors see a concern that the health workers are not enough to control the psychological torture that children undergo in the name of domestic violence. The authors first analyze some of the effects of gender violence on children such as the school dropout, psychological torture, and even physical injuries by violent parents. Sometimes children find themselves outside their families where they can have peace (Turner et al., 20). Some of them even choose to become the street children after they are fed up with the domestic violence situation in their families. The professionals should, therefore, come up with the new techniques of controlling gender violence that would make the children feel secure. This journal will, thus, help me in my topic to understand the effects of gender violence and how they can be handled effectively.
