Domestic violence is a serious problem which is particularly difficult to solve because the cases of domestic abuse often occur at home, and because it requires deep socio-cultural changes in society. This article aims at identifying which types of domestic violence are prevalent in the Baltic States and how their prevalence affects the labour market. The main types of domestic violence include physical and sexual violence (the statistical data on the cases of this violence are available), while the cases of economic and psychological violence are more difficult to detect. Thus, this article focuses on physical and sexual violence against women in domestic environment in the Baltic States. The surveys carried out in the Baltic States reveal that physical injuries are the most common consequence of domestic violence, with a significant number of women feeling that their lives are in danger. Traumas and physical injuries lead to women leaving the labour market or reducing their working time.
