This article is about Domestic violence in Paraguay. For other related topics, see Outline of domestic violence.
The most pervasive violations of women's rights in Paraguay involve sexual and domestic abuse. On average one woman is murdered every 10 days.[1] Although Paraguay has taken several measures to deal with this problem, including creating special police units for domestic violence victims,[1][2] lack of adequate laws, as well as conservative attitudes within a male dominated society hinder progress.
