There are 100 participants including leaders, specialists and employees of departments and sectors from 19 southern cities and provinces.

 

Certain contents are presented namely real situation of domestic violence, laws on domestic violence prevention and control, draft resolution on detailed regulations and instructions for some specific articles in the law, bill of administrative punishments in domestic violence prevention and control, draft circular in domestic violence prevention and control by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, national draft action plan on domestic violence prevention and control, overview of gender equality, law on gender equality and so on. Thereby, the delegates also discuss in groups and have speakers clear up confusions about domestic violence prevention and control.

    According to statistical data in 2006 on NA issues in 8 cities and provinces, every year, there are 2.3% of families with physical violence, 25% of those with spiritual violence and 30% of couples with obligatory sexual relations. The fact that descendants maltreat their parents and grandparents and the parents ill-treat their kids has drawn public concerns.
