Abstract

This article is an outcome of the researchers’ experience in conducting a five years long research study on ‘Domestic Violence’ in the city of Bhubaneswar across classes. The study actually tried to evaluate the impact of domestic violence on workforce participation and productivity of the victims. The choice of the issue of domestic violence was because of the pandemic nature of the phenomenon, its staggering number; its universality and its gendered character. Further, the availability of pervasive literature was a factor of fascination to take up the topic. Domestic violence researches flood the arena of academic research and organizational research. .But the researchers in course of their research found the task is not an easy one. The researcher along with the guide and supervisor noted that domestic violence as a topic sounds easy to research upon, but becomes really hard to crack through. The experiences of the researchers in dealing with the topic, in deciding the methodological stand and in collecting data noted many challenges. However, the responses were devised to bring solutions to the tricky situations. This led to strong learning outcomes which the researchers try to encapsulate in this article to provide a pathway for future researchers.
