Violence Against Women in Afghan Patriarchal Setup Reflected Through Nadia Hashimi’s A House Without Windows
Abstract
The present research deals with violence against women in Afghan patriarchal society as reflected through A House Without Windows by Nadia Hashimi. Besides, the purpose of this study is to discover the factors that cause violence against women in Afghan patriarchal society. For this purpose, Sylvia Walby’s insight of violence has been taken as a theoretical framework to analyze the text minutely. In addition, the researcher has discovered that violence against women shatters the peace and mutual understanding of families in Afghanistan. The undertaken research is based on textual analysis and is qualitative in nature. Furthermore, it suggests that women should be given freedom oriented environment with due rights and be protected from violence and exploitation so that they may actively contribute to the prosperity of society.
