Violence, a problematic phenomenon experienced in different forms (physical, verbal, symbolic, sexual,etc.), is increasingly prominent in sociological analysis. Violence is an unwanted aspect of everyday lifeexperience; it is common in traffic incidences, in the family, in the workplace, and in personal interactionsalmost everywhere. In recent years, women and health professionals (doctors and non-doctors) in particularhave been subjected to violence. Violence against women and children has become remarkablycommonplace. An increase in violence against physicians and healthcare professionals as part of this morehostile environment could be observed.Violence against doctors is now a global problem.The well-being ofhealth workers has been disrupted not only by the changing dynamics in doctor-patient relationships, butalso by the general environment of insecurity. All forms of violence must be condemned; not only healthcareworkers but also the decion makers have to deal with the issue of violence collectively and systematically.
