The bachelor's thesis analyses the perception and handling of violence against women in
Socialist Slovenia between 1960 and 1977, with focus on the content of the women magazine
Naša žena. It explores the extent to which the magazine addressed gender violence and how it
was discussed in the context of other social issues such as alcoholism, family conflicts, and
juvenile delinquency. The thesis examines how the media of that time raised awareness about
violence and how it was frequently normalized in the society. Additionally, it suggests how
prevalent gender violence (particularly intimate partner violence) was in Slovenian socialist
society. The analysis highlights the lack of systematic support and protection for victims,
reflecting a broader societal reality where research on sexually marked violence only began to
take shape in the 1960s and 1970s
