DESPITE their rise in social status, nearly one-fourth of Chinese women say they still experience domestic violence, according to a survey released by All China Women's Federation today.
The survey says 24.7 percent of the respondents have been abused or beaten to various degrees in marriage. Some are even deprived of freedom, controlled economically or forced to live a kind of life against their will.
About 5.5 percent of the women respondents say they have been beaten by their husbands. The number of rural women suffering beating more than doubles that in cities, the survey says.
However, 85.2 percent of the respondents say they are satisfied with their family status. Women's health, education and earnings all have improved significantly in the past 10 years, the survey says.
About three-fourths of the women say they are involved in family decision making for issues like buying property, making investment and taking loans.
