Study: Domestic violence is widespread in Vietnam

A new study reports that one out of three Vietnamese women say they have suffered physical or sexual violence from their husbands at some time in their lives.

The number rises to 58 percent if emotional violence is included.

The joint study by the United Nations and the Vietnamese government interviewed 4,838 women and is the first of its kind in Vietnam.

The lead researcher for the study, Henrica Jansen, said in a statement Friday that although domestic violence is widespread it remains very hidden.

The study did not give comparative figures for other countries.
