摘要：Violence against women is a violation of the basic human rights. Yet it is a recurring problem causing millions of women and girls to suffer disproportionately from violence in war and in peace, at home and in the community. The paper investigates the awareness level within the Lebanese society of the different types of violence exerted on women, the latter reaction and attitude to this violence, whether as a watcher or a participant, as well as the level of trust in the Lebanese authorities as supporters of victimized women. This paper defines what violence is, explains its process, components, impact, as well as its applications. With 121 valid questionnaires, a quantitative analysis is performed to support the objectives of the research. Results are interesting; the awareness level of the society outperforms the pessimistic expectations of a third world country. Yet, societal and legal Lebanese norms remain a challenge to resolve.
