Domestic violence remains a pervasive yet often invisible social issue with far-reaching consequences beyond the private sphere, significantly affecting women’s participation, performance, and progression in the workplace. This study examines the impact of domestic violence on women’s workplace performance and mental health, and critically explores its implications for the development of feminine leadership. Women experiencing domestic abuse frequently face psychological trauma, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and chronic stress, which directly impairs concentration, decision-making, productivity, and interpersonal relations at work. Absenteeism, presenteeism, reduced confidence, and limited career mobility further reinforce gendered disadvantages within professional spaces. Despite these challenges, the study argues that lived experiences of adversity can also shape distinctive leadership capacities among women, such as heightened empathy, resilience, emotional intelligence, and ethical sensitivity—qualities central to feminine leadership. By reframing domestic violence not merely as a personal or welfare concern but as an organizational and leadership issue, the paper highlights the responsibility of workplaces to adopt trauma-informed policies, supportive institutional frameworks, and inclusive leadership cultures. Legal safeguards, organizational support systems, and mental health interventions are emphasized as critical enablers in mitigating harm and unlocking women’s leadership potential. The study concludes that addressing domestic violence within workplace discourse is essential not only for protecting women’s rights and well-being but also for fostering transformative feminine leadership that promotes inclusivity, compassion, and sustainable organizational growth.
