Abstract
Domestic violence against women is a major problem worldwide. This study aimed to provide a more accurate lifetime prevalence estimation of violence against women in Iran. The prevalence rate of different types of the violence until the end of 2013 were extracted from scientific databases and combined using Random model in stata 10. The best estimate of the general prevalence of violence against women in Iran was 48.87%. Place, time, and sample size were the main factors causing heterogeneity. Although the proposed statistics are not generalizable to the entire population of Iranian women, the prevention of this social disturbance in Iran is urgent.
