Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study examines the issue of domestic violence against women in Malaysia, utilising Leo Tolstoy's theory as a foundational reference. It incorporates Bertolt Brecht's V-effect techniques to encourage critical thinking about domestic violence. By integrating these two distinct approaches, the researcher aims to evoke emotions and facilitate scrutiny and critique of domestic violence issues. The study uses qualitative methods to collect primary data through interviews, surveys, participant observations, focus group discussions, movie reels, and questionnaires. Secondary data sources such as articles, journal books, and previously published data are also utilised. The study's primary objective is to provide participants with an immersive experience of domestic violence situations, particularly in phase 1, known as "The Experience." In this phase, participants are exposed to real domestic problems to evoke their emotions and feelings regarding domestic violence. Phase 2, known as ‘The Engagement’, involves interactions between the actors and participants, allowing the researchers to observe participants' reactions based on their experiences in Phase 1. In Phase 3, known as ‘The Reflection’, the study analyses participants' thought processes and responses to domestic violence issues after completing phases 1 and 2. Consequently, the study finds that participants who undergo all three performance phases gain a deeper understanding of domestic violence issues and exhibit increased awareness. The participants' feedback is overwhelmingly positive. This study raises awareness within the community regarding the severity of domestic violence, empowering individuals to assess and respond appropriately if they encounter such situations.
