This study introduces a multidimensional strategy that integrates qualitative and quantitative research approaches to assess the rapidly emerging problem of domestic abuse in Pakistan. One major societal issue that affects people and communities badly and permanently is domestic violence. The objective of this sequential study is to offer a comprehensive account and comprehension of the kind and severity of domestic violence within the Pakistani set up. The intricacies of domestic violence, including social views, gender dynamics, and cultural norms and traditions will be expressed with the use of this qualitative data. In order to deal with the qualitative approach, statistics data from surveys and questionnaires given to a representative sample of Pakistani citizens will be collected and analyzed using quantitative research methodologies to clarify the intensity of the topic. The researchers will be able to monitor the frequency and severity of domestic violence, spot trends, and evaluate the impact of different factors including education, socioeconomic position, and geography, thanks to the quantitative data for playing such a crucial role in this sensitive topic. The results of this study should support initiatives and evidence-based policies and recommendations targeted at addressing and lowering domestic violence index in our home country.
