Description
Tharuka Silva and five co-authors present a 2024 study of what women who face domestic violence in Sri Lanka expect from health workers. Clinics are often the first formal place such women reach. Care lands better when staff know what kind of support women hope to find there.
The team ran deep interviews with twenty women who had come to hospital based support centers or a poison unit in the Central Province. The women were picked to span a range of ages and means. The study sorts what they asked for: safety, belief, kind listening, and clear paths to further help. The findings can guide training for front line staff.
