Description/caption: Domestic violence is widespread in Vietnam but the victims themselves conceal it fearing shame and stigma. From a pool of nearly 6,000 women aged 15 - 64 across Vietnam, the survey found that nearly two in three, or 62.9 percent experienced one or more forms of domestic abuse: physical, sexual, emotional, economic violence, and controlling behavior from male partners in their lifetime. Vietnamese social and cultural silence is still prevalent, preventing the abused women from raising their true voice and reaching for help.
