Abstract :The goal of this study was to see how violence affected women's perceptions of family activities. Women who volunteered to participate in the study stayed at shelters linked with the Ministry of Family, Labour, and Social Services of Izmir between October 2016 and September 2017. A socio-demographic data form and then a Family Assessment Device were applied to the participants, and a relational screening model was used in the study. 96 women who were and were not victims of violence were interviewed, and a socio-demographic data form and then a Family Assessment Device were applied to the participants, and a relational screening model was used in the study. It was seen that the majority of the women participating in the study were between the ages of 25-39 at the rate of 58%, the majority of them were married at the rate of 68.8% and they did not work at the rate of 75%. 91.5% of the women who experienced violence stated that they were exposed to violence from their spouses or partners. It was discovered that being a victim of violence had a detrimental impact on the view of family functions, and that there was a statistically significant link between women's experiences of violence and all of the Family Assessment Device sub scores. Furthermore, all types of violence were assessed separately, and it was discovered that all types of violence had a statistically significant link with all sub scores of the Family Assessment Device. Violence has a negative impact on women's perceptions of family functions, as well as the family as a whole. The struggle against violence on women, as a phenomenon that has a negative impact on the entire society, starting with the individual and family, necessitates societal unity and determination in addition to international, national, and state-run social policies.Keywords : : Perception of Family Functions, Domestic Violence Against Women, Women, Social Work, Social Services
