Introduction and goal: In our culture, violence against women is most often mentioned, and it is rarely thought that violence can also be perpetrated against men because they are the physically stronger sex. Violence against men is somewhat rarer, but it is also less reported precisely because of the culture in which we live, a paternalistic family, and in which men should be strong and family leaders, i.e. the "stronger sex". Men are afraid to report violence because of the "shame" that our society represents. The violence of women against men is a social problem shrouded in secrets, silence, fears and prejudices. The aim of this research was to examine the views of citizens on the violence of women against men and to examine the frequency of violence by women against men. Methods: The presented data were collected through an anonymous survey that was created only for the purpose of creating this diploma thesis, and the data were collected in the period from March to April 2023. The survey was distributed online and was voluntary. Each respondent gave consent to participate. The questionnaire consisted of 24 closed questions, of which the first three questions were sociodemographic data. Respondents were citizens of the Republic of Croatia who have access to the Internet in order to complete the online survey. There were a total of 200 subjects of both sexes in the research. Results: Attitudes and opinions of citizens about violence are based on cultural, social and educational influences. The results of our research show that psychological violence is the most prevalent as much as 83.5%. respondents state that violence is more common today compared to 20 years ago, by as much as 53.5%, which we can explain that the problem is actually that 20 years ago, there was not enough talk about this type of violence compared to today. The discussion about the differences in attitudes and opinions of the general population and the frequency of violence by women against men emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex dynamics that shape these phenomena. Conclusion: It is necessary to conduct continuous research and education in order to change the negative stereotypes and prejudices that affect the perception of violence. It is necessary to actively work on raising awareness about violence against both sexes, it is essential to create a society in which all citizens are protected and jointly fight against all forms of violence, regardless of gender.
