75% of women in Thailand are experiencing more than one domestic violence incident and 52.2% of the victims respond in kind against the perpetrators, according to an opinion survey, conducted between October 17th and 23rd among 1,692 women aged 20 and over in Bangkok and its peripherals, commissioned by the Women and Men Progressive Movement Foundation.

 

The same survey also shows that 31.4% of domestic violence is connected to the consumption of alcohol, said Jaree Srisawat, head of the alliance network promotion section of the foundation yesterday, ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women today (Thursday).

 

She pointed out, however, that the most worrisome aspect of domestic violence in Thailand is that 87.4% of the abused women have never sought help from or consulted with relevant authorities, in an effort to keep the violent incidents confidential, because they have no idea where to find help or because they think no one can help them anyway.

Who are the relevant authorities?

Police?

Best of luck with that.

Is this why a lot of them wants a falang men? (besides the money)

How about asking the men if they have had a slap?

yeah but that is naughty spanking

Me too!

 

1 Brit lady, 3 Thai ladies have committed acts of domestic violence on me.

It happens in relationships and is no big deal IMHO.

Percentage involving alcohol is a barefaced lie IMHO.

If 100% honest, 100% involvement.

 

Thai survey, so expect creativity.

Sale of kitchen knives going through the roof.

Also have to admit that thai women can be extremely aggressive.

How about domestic violence against men? It seems lots of Thai women think kitchen knifes are not only for kitchen work.

I want to see the poll regarding domestic violence against men?
