Without a doubt, it is a yes to this question. Domestic violence not only hurt women physically but also the children at home are hurt mentally. Children grow up gaining knowledge from what they see,hear and experience. Most of the visuals they see during their childhood is nailed in their mind forever. Likewise, when a girl child grows up seeing domestic violence at her home, she is forever afraid of men and pushed to be live in her limit not believing anyone around. On the other hand, when a boy child grows up seeing domestic violence at his home is not aware that it is a crime and he takes it granted to follow it in his later age. Domestic violence at home is a crime.
