The questionnaire was consisted of Asayesh & Golpasha Questionnaire on Dimensions of Violence against Women (2016) (AGDVS, 2016), which were completed by subjects. Findings show there is a significant negative relationship between dimensions of violence (economic (p<0/01), hostility (p<0/01), communication (p<0/01), verbal (p<0/05) and total (p<0/01)) and self-esteem. These findings show that dimensions of violence (economic violence, communication, hostility and verbal abuse) are probably more relevant in decreasing of women’s self-esteem. This information can be used to interventions and training of family for counselors and therapists in order to promote women's self-esteem.
