United Nations defines violence against women as "any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life. Apart from arguing of abuse out comes we try to put a new indicator for women abuse in war affecting areas, we think ocular traumas can be a good acceptable practical indicator for monitoring the level and type of violence toward women in all communities. The study took place in west Darfur state, West Sudan, from 2010-2013 at the Eye teaching hospital. Data was collected by direct clinical examination and QR from 50 affected women above 18 years old attended or referred to the hospital, both admitted and outpatient are included. 50 women participate in the study. Violence against women in Darfur has a relation with illiteracy and level of education. Addiction and poverty has strong relation with women abuse. More efforts are needed to save women from violence. Social and financial support is mandatory. Social workers should be effectively implemented in clinical centres.
