Abstract

Background and Aim: The recent scientific evidence shows the change in trends and patterns of social harms,
which have changed in terms of type and extent, mainly from more masculine patterns to more feminine patterns.
Considering the importance of the issue both from the aspect of identification and prevention, scientific and reliable
documentation is needed for explanation and management. The issue has been analyzed in the present study.
Methods: In this study, the combined method of reviewing sources and documents and qualitative method were
used. In the first step, documents related the social harm, women and social determinants were searched and
reviewed. In the next step, the materials presented by 5 key informants and 9 members of the relevant specialized
scientific working group participating in the meetings of the Women’s Health Scientific Group of the Academy
of Medical Sciences were implemented and analyzed with the inductive back-and-forth method. Finally, by
collecting and summarizing and combining the texts and semantic units, topics were extracted and compiled in
general sections, effective factors and strategies related to prevention and coping.
Results: Aggregating the results of related studies shows; the pattern of social harms is strongly moving towards
feminization, and this feminization of the pattern of social harms is not unrelated to the issue of the status of
women in today’s society. In recent years, the spread of social harm among women has increased concern in this
field; the statistics of the increase in crimes and the number of imprisoned women also confirm this fact. The
effective factors in the emergence of social harms are numerous and diverse; Many challenges of the society
are the source of social damage. Things like mental well-being in society; financial and economic issues and the
existence of class differences cause the emergence of social harm in the society.
Conclusion: In order to design and implement the most effective social harm prevention and control programs,
we need accurate and reliable studies that outline the current situation, suggest countermeasures, and monitor
implementation processes. Since women are the main focus of family health and stability and the guarantor of
society’s survival and excellence, paying attention to this important issue and planning preventive and supportive
interventions is considered one of the most important priorities in the field of social health.
