DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASTS LONG SHADOW
More help provided, but many victims reluctant to speak out
A woman in Sanming, Fujian province, finally ended her marriage in court last week after calling police seven times to complain that she had been a victim of domestic violence.
At her hearing in Sanming Intermediate People's Court, Guo Jie, the judge handling the case, arranged for the woman to receive psychological aid and for her to live in a shelter in the city for about a month to prevent her from being harmed again.
