Vietnam occupies all three main types of partner violence. The parts are considered as physical, sexual, and emotion
which would be classified as 58 percent of Vietnamese woman reported experiencing at least one type of domestic
violence in their lifetime. New data form the study highlight the fact that most women in Vietnam are potential at risk
of domestic violence at some point in their lives. Nearly 60 percent of married women in Vietnam have suffered
physical or sexual abuse at least once in their life. Everyone 1 of 3 women in the world suffer physical or sexual
violence, usually form a male partner or a male member in the family.
One of the domestic events fall in the category falls in the category of physical abuse. He beat me daily Tran says,
a survivor of domestic violence whose real identity we have protected. Once he broke my fingers, it just became a
habit when he was drunk or didnt feel good about himself. Tran was beaten up daily for three insufferable years.
Gender inequality impacts health in myriad ways, including discriminatory feeding patterns, lack of decision-making
power, and unfair division of work, leisure an possibilities of improving ones life. In November 2013 the UNODC in
cooperation with UN Women and UNFPA has launched the "Assessment of the situation of women in the criminal
justice system in Viet Nam". The report recognized that "patriarchal norms have created a society in which genderbased violence is often considered to be 'normal' and women are encouraged to deal with violence outside of the
justice system. As a result, rates of reporting violence against women are low, and victims are often referred to
reconciliation facilitators within their local community to arrive at a solution within the family before involving the
criminal justice system".
On 25 November 2010, on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the
results of the first ever National Study on Domestic Violence against Women in Viet Nam were released at an event
in Ha Noi. The dissemination of its findings has contributed to raise awareness on the extent of domestic violence in
the country and presented evidences to policy makers and civil society actors to design and implement evidencebased policies and interventions to prevent and address domestic violence against women. The Viet Nam
Government plans to carry out a new study in 2015 to assess the progress made since 2010 to eliminate domestic
violence. Although the Viet Nam Joint Programmed on Gender Equality adopted a holistic strategy to promote the
rights of women, the present report concentrates on the methods and results of the national survey. The National
Survey Steering Committee was established in mid-2009 to take the overall responsibility for the implementation of
the survey fieldwork. The Vice General Director of the GSO led the Committee. Members included high-level
representatives from the GSO, the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Gendrf1er Equality Department from the Ministry of
Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA), the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and
Tourism. The meeting marked the launch of White Ribbon, an Australian campaign to end mens violence against
women, in Vietnam to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November
25.White Ribbon aims to raise the communitys awareness upon violence targeting women and girls and to
encourage mens support in stopping and speaking out about violence.
There are plenty future characteristics that could potentially lead to a new society when it comes down to the
category of domestic violence. People who are exposed to domestic violence often experience physical, mental or
spiritual shifts that can endure and worsen if they are not addressed. According to a study done by the Centers for
Disease Control, nearly three in every 10 women, about 32 million, and one in 10 men in the United States who
experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner reported at least one measured impact or

effect related to forms of violent behavior in that relationship. Violence cannot be stopped, but for sure it can be
reduced.
