Abstract

Domestic violence is one of the social issues causing significant physical and mental damage to family members. Forms of violence include physical violence, sexual violence, emotional violence, economic violence, and behavioral control, among others. This paper highlights various causes of domestic violence against ethnic minority women in Vietnam, including experiences of violence within the family due to low education levels, employment issues, income, culture, and social factors, which lead to tensions and conflicts, making domestic violence more complex and dangerous.
