Abstract. The issue of oppression of women has long been fought by governments, churches, educational institutions, and different organizations around the world. Vulnerable women are still victims of this act and there seems to be no solution for it. Many laws have been enacted to protect the rights and dignity of women but those are not enough to end that kind of oppression. This study has been undertaken to determine the perspective of the male-perpetrators, who are not formally charged in court but experienced the imposition of violence on women, on the root cause of women oppression and its continuing factor. The study examined what actually motivated the perpetrator to commit violent acts and why did they not think they could be punished for such an act. The researcher used snowball sampling because of the difficulty of finding respondents. A likert scale was utilized to determine the level of agreements of the respondents with the questions. The study revealed that the main cause of women’s oppression was the superiority complex of men. Despite the perpetrator understood the proper treatment to a woman the study further revealed that all other oppressions of women and its continuing factors may be the result of men’s superiority complex which causes men to disregard respect for women. However, it appeared in the study that financial incapacity of women is not a reason for them to be oppressed. The results of the study indicate that the law for women protection is not enough to end women oppressions and the government should take actions to implement a program aimed at restoring respect for women.
