Domestic violence in Paraguay information


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.
