The thesis researches the consequences of domestic violence among students of the Faculty of Social Work. Family should be a warm and supportive environment where we can always find love, understanding and support, especially in difficult times, but it is not always like that. Family members also have special duties and responsibilities to each other, and in the event of domestic violence, these responsibilities are forgotten. Today, violence is present in all areas of life. Domestic violence is also a major problem in today’s society. In most cases, however, the violence remains hidden and is increasing year by year. Researching the consequences of domestic violence, especially domestic violence in general, is extremely important because it is a serious and complex problem that is present in all societies, layers and times. Not much is said about domestic violence, much less about the consequences for victims of violence. As a student of social work who has also experienced domestic violence, I am particularly interested in how violence affects us students, who will often face domestic violence in professional settings in the future. Students of social work are often on the front line in addressing and managing this long-standing problem. Therefore, in my thesis, I will focus on this unsolved and unresolved problem. In the theoretical part, I first explain what a family is and what functions a family has. In the second part of the theoretical foundations, I want to give an understanding of violence and its various forms, including domestic violence. Recognising that domestic violence encompasses several forms of violence, I have referred to the literature to present a comprehensive overview of the types of violence victims may encounter. Since this type of violence is characterized by the dynamics of repetitive periods, I also present the cycle of domestic violence. The assignment focuses primarily on the consequences of domestic violence, so I made sure to address the factors of violence and consequences towards the end. Finally, I focused on the legal regulation of domestic violence. With the help of a qualitative research with partially standardized interviews conducted on an occasional sample, I identify the consequences of the victims of violence, more specifically students of the Faculty of Social Work. My sample included six female students from the Faculty of Social Work who had experienced domestic violence. I linked the key findings of the qualitative research with the relevant theory and thus described the consequences of domestic violence.
