The aim of this paper is to gain insight into the broader picture of violence against persons with disabilities. At the very beginning, basic terms such as violence and disability will be defined in order to indicate the importance of the sensitivity of this population to violence. Through further work, the theoretical starting point will be touched upon, and then, through the presentation of the research, an insight will be gained into the subject of violence against certain groups of people with disabilities, such as people with intellectual disabilities, women, men, children and young people, and elderly people with disabilities. All people with disabilities are more exposed to any kind of violence. The most frequent perpetrators of violence against persons with disabilities are relatives, friends, partners and professionals. Any form of violence adversely affects the psychophysical health of people with disabilities, and psychological problems occur regardless of the gender and age of the victim. The role of social work is to prevent, protect and help people who are victims of violence or are at risk of becoming.
