China's Domestic Violence On the Rise

Most women who are abused at home by their husbands could only submit to humiliation or turn to All China Women's Federation for help. According to a report released by All China Women's Federation, in the past two years, the federation handled over 50,000 cases of domestic violence, and the average annual growth rate was 70%. There were about 40,000 families breaking up due ot domestic violence. Very often, the cases were not handled very effectively and efficiently, since All China Women's Federation is not a powerful law enforcement structure. (It is a Non-governmental organization.) In order to crack down on domestic violence, a new law will be passed to allow the police to intervene in domestic violence. The contributory factors of domestic violence may vary, but the inrooted "androcentrism" should be mainly responsible. Hi, friends, does domestic violence exist in your country? Have the cases of domestic violence happened in your neighborhood?

It seems that in the familes both husabands and wives are inclinded to torture the ones who they have ever had a strong passion for. I think no one likes a torturer. So, don't be a toturer. Instead, try to be a nice person.

These people can't take the pressure and vent it out on the weaker person in the family, usually the spouse and children. Locking them up do not help. What these people need are professional help and counselling.

TEKNOMED, you are probably right for saying that "Maybe it is due to pressure created by the "rat race". These people can't take the pressure and vent it out on the weaker person in the family, usually the spouse and children."

However, I still want to question those who vent their anger on their spouses and children. Do you want to show how powerful you are? If so, once blamed by your boss suffer great pressure from others, don't vent your anger on your spouse and children but find other ways to vent your anger. Otherwise, you are still not powerful and brave; you are still a coward since you bully the weak.

If he lived in London like I do, then I might agree, but back home in Somerset life is much slower and more laid back, they don't know what the "rat race " is!

But, some people told me that men are also some victims of domestic violence. It's hard for me to believe it, I have never found any man was abused or tortured by his wife. Have you ever witnessed or heared of such cases?
