This research set out to answer the question, “How does domestic violence affect children’s mental health in the three senatorial districts of Rivers State?” In this work, the researcher employed a descriptive survey approach. The researcher set out to investigate three hypotheses and evaluate two research topics. With Taro Yamane’s guidance, the researcher was able to narrow it down to a sample size of 1,000. A self-made questionnaire was used to compile the data. The statistics show that females are disproportionately affected by domestic violence and that females are the primary targets of domestic abuse. Domestic violence against women may take many forms, including sexual assault, physical assault, verbal abuse, and emotional abuse. Furthermore, evidence from Pearson Correlation Analysis corroborate the idea that child maltreatment is linked to negative psychological growth. In addition, research shows a direct correlation between homelessness and domestic violence. Teaching people their place in the family system is one strategy proposed to put an end to domestic violence.
