Authors : Haitham Baibers

Abstract: The aim of the study is identify the extent to which Jordanian university students acknowledge the forms of violence against women. The study sample consisted of 394 students from Yarmouk University, Science and Technology and Hashemite University in Jordan during the period 2016-2016. The results showed that there was an average level of knowledge of Jordanian university students on the forms of violence against women. The results showed that there are no statistically significant differences in the extent to which Jordanian university students are aware of forms of violence against women due to reasons related to personal variables such as age, marital status, father’s level of education, mother’s level of education, father’s work and mother’s work). The results also showed significant differences in the extent to which Jordanian university students were aware of the forms of violence against women due to the gender variable in favor of females. The researcher recommended the necessity of working to increase the awareness of university students about the forms of violence used against women through different academic activities.
