Abstract: Violence against women is a lingering social problem in the world. This paper attempts to explore the nature, causes and dimensions of some important forms of violence against women in Bangladesh. This study was conducted based on secondary data from various sources in Bangladesh. To determine what type of violence is increasing and or decreasing against women currently in Bangladesh, some projections were made using a simple mathematical equation. Results exhibit that women in rural areas experience more in the form of physical, sexual and emotional violence compared to women in settings of Bangladesh. This study also theoretically explores some factors which vary between the rural and urban settings in which women experienced violence differently. Finally, the study suggests some policy recommendations to deal with the issue of violence against women
