From 2012 to 2016, there have been 127,258 domestic violence nationwide which many of cases lead to divorce. Worse, 83.69 percent of domestic violence cases were committed by males.
PSNews - Domestic violence leaves serious consequences to victims, particular women and children in both short and long term, obstructing their participation in the community life. It also affects the victims both psychologically and physically.
Using family values-prioritised culture to tackle domestic violence has reduced the compatibility of the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control with Vietnam’s legal system and international standards.
