This paper is adressed to answer how the Papua Moslem
Women of Fak-Fak overcome domestic violence. Refering to
Marx and Engel, such violence rooted in a domination in the
field of economics or in a capitalist mode of production as a
continuation of class domination in the history of human
being. Based on empirical data, it is found that structural
factors such as economic condition contributes to the violence
through economic pressures that being faced by poor families.
Beside that, cultural factors also is acknowledged to cause
violence through modernization, which reduced local cultural
values. However, the violence can not be related to the local
tradition of Bahamata people of Fak-Fak since the tradition
respects and acknowledges the role of Women in their family
and structure of tribe. To overcome the violence, some of
Moslem women organization has campaigned and socialized
of anti-domestic violence issues although it is still artificial.
