Call for action on domestic violence (3)

Li said there are many inadequacies in the current legal system in regard to domestic violence. Under the current system, domestic violence is not clearly defined and most items on the laws and regulations are declarative slogans and lack room for interpretation and procedures for enforcement.

A condemnation of domestic violence was first written into the Marriage Law in 2001 and then in the Minor Protection Law, as well as in the local regulations of 28 provinces and municipalities, she said.

Huang Qiao, a social worker in Shenzhen's Luohu district who has worked for three years helping female victims of domestic violence, said she has found domestic violence is spreading among people with higher education.
