Introduction
Enfield is a community in the Four Paths area. It is located in the parish of St Mary, Jamaica. It is about 4 km. It consists of approximately 160 households.
I have been a resident of Enfield, Junior Pen for the past three years and ten months. During this time, I have observed a number of women being violated in the area. Foremost among them is that they are being abused by their partners on a daily basis. There is no special time when these women are beaten. There is also the growth of women having to be hospitalized because of how badly they were beaten by their partners.
I have therefore decided to conduct a survey to do an investigation with regards to domestic violence against women in Enfield, Junior Pen.
