The victims of physical violence are mostly women aged 40-49, with children, without higher education and living in families with a low income. 

This is the conclusion drawn by the researchers of the Centre of Sociological and Political Studies of the Belarusian State University based on the findings of the survey of 700 men and women conducted at the end of 2012 in Brest Oblast. The data of the new survey was partially compared with the findings of the survey of domestic violence in Belarus conducted in 2008. The material describes the findings of the new survey.
