Violence is a social problem that poses serious threats and results in negative consequenc- es in all areas of an individual’s life. The phenomenon of violence, which is also regarded as a significant health problem, is one of the focal issues addressed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The violence, which continues to be an important health problem both on global and local scales, affects individuals of all ages. It can be experienced not only physically but also in the form of psychological, economic, sexual and digital vio- lence. This type of violence has both health, social and economic effects on society. The most important step to be taken to prevent the violence is to include this issue in the cur- riculum at all levels of education to academia. Preventing violence can only be possible by producing preventive policies and ensuring the continuity of these policies. It is essential that the relevant ministries, law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, other relevant official and non-governmental institutions and organizations, act in cooperation to make the nec- essary legal regulations for to overcome this challenging issue.
