The anti-domestic violence law is aimed at preventing and avoiding domestic violence, protecting lawful rights and interests of family members, maintaining a peaceful, harmonious and civilized family relation and promoting family harmony and social stability. The process of implementing the anti-domestic violence law is not accomplished at one stroke;instead, it is a systematic engineering needing to be done with efforts from all directions. The government, as the strongest supporter of citizens, shall take corresponding responsibilities in the process of implementing the anti- domestic violence law, especially the governmental responsibility of relief measure in the process of implementing anti-domestic violence.展开更多

In China,domestic violence has gained the increasingly intense attention of the entire society since the Fourth World Conference on Women, which was held in Beijing in 1995. Prohibition of domestic violence is now stipulated in relevant laws. But in the absence of a law specifically designed to prevent and curb domestic violence, this social problem is far from being resolved. Instead, facts prove that it has gone from bad to worse.展开更多
