The study was conducted to find out the patterns of violence against women as perceived by working -- class females in a Nigerian City. A total of one hundred and fifty respondents were selected from the target population using the multi-stage sampling procedure. A fifteen-item questionnaire tagged "patterns of violence against women questionnaire" was designed and used to elicit the required responses from respondents. The questionnaire was both face and content validated and the reliability determined using the test retest method. The correlation coefficient between the two administrations was 0.76. Data collected were analyzed using the descriptive statistics (frequency counts and percentages) for the demographic characteristics of respondents, while t-test and analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedure were used to test the hypotheses. Results indicated that the most common form of violence against women is the physical violence while the least is economic violence. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that there be more enlightenment campaigns on violence against women and women be encouraged to talk about it. Culture has to change in order to eliminate all forms of retrogressive practices against women including violence against women.
