Initial database searches provided 181,642 citations. Then 80,635 duplicated citations were removed; then identified titles and abstracts of 62 unique citations. However, not all of the 62 citations are intricately related to the preference topic, some of the 62 citations depend on broad relevance to the topic area. Therefore, the 62 abstracts went through a second round of scrutiny against the inclusion criteria, and based on full-text review 30 articles were selected. Following further investigation, 13 study protocols were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria, while 3 articles were added as a result of matching inclusion criteria. The final set of 20 studies included.

Therefore, we come up with two significant questions to guide the research. To further explore the first research question, we examined whether social can tackle social issues such as violence against women in North America. Findings that gender equality needs to be more publicly addressed and tackled as an issue; structural imbalances of power and inequality between women and men are both the context and causes of violence against women.
The most common form of violence experienced by women globally is intimate partner violence (IPV); a national cross-sectional sample of women 18 years of age and older, found that over four out of ten women in the US are likely to have experienced one or more forms of violence including child abuse (17.8%), physical assault (19.1%), rape (20.4%) and domestic violence (34.6%) that have negative effects in terms of injuries and longer-term physical and psychological health. IPV survivors may experience a range of stressors and accumulated feelings that can lead to physical harm, physical illness, mental distress, and suicide. Approximately 30% of women who use emergency rooms do so because of spousal or partner abuse in one form or another, accounting for over 200,000 visits to the hospital emergency room each year. However, only about 1 in 5 of domestic violence victims with physical injuries seek professional medical treatment. Furthermore, crime statistics indicate higher levels of partner violence among low-income couples and in lower income neighbourhoods, and less educated
