Another objective is to ascertain whether the respondents have plenty of information about this societal phenomenon. The quantitative strategy was chosen for this research. As a technique of the data collection was used a questionnaire of a specific structure. After the inspection and the following elimination of several entries respectable 227 questionnaires were used for the research. The collection of the data took place in the time period from January 2020 till March 2020. Based on the research not even half of the respondents are informed enough about the issue. Another thing which was ascertained is that the respondents' opinions on domestic violence are still to a certain extent influenced by stereotypes which are related to this topic. The relevance of gender and embrace of these biased and untrue claims was not approved though, as statistics testing suggests. The research proved true that men are more benevolent about the domestic violence than women, tend to keep it in secret and are likely to fix the potential problems without any help from the outside.
