Penyalahgunaan kuasa ini tidak hanya berlaku secara fizikal tetapi juga dalam bentuk seksual, ekonomi dan psikologikal yang menyebabkan wanita merasa tidak berdaya serta sentiasa hidup dalam ketakutan.

Analisis tema yang dijalankan ke atas 25 transkripsi temubual mendapati bahawa isu prosedur serta peranan perkhidmatan kaunseling dan kaunselor adalah antara tema-tema yang muncul dalam penyelidikan ini. Di akhir perbincangan, beberapa saranan dikemukakan terutamanya kepada sumber jaringan sokongan formal untuk menambahbaik perkhidmatan kaunseling sedia ada yang ditawarkan.
