Although there are no official figures, the rate of couples experiencing violence from scolding, insulting, forcing sex when there is no need is happening. According to statistics, 1 in 5 couples have experienced violence in any form. Domestic violence in recent years has been happening with an increasingly serious nature, the violators and the number of victims have increased in all regions.

The women have accompanied the grassroots unions and promoted the role of the branch union officials and women's groups with the motto "Where there are women, there are union activities". The Standing Committee of the Provincial Women's Union leads and directs the unions at all levels to closely follow the grassroots, implementing the 3 together "Listen to women speak, speak for women to understand, do for women to follow", "Accompany the grassroots unions and women's unions". To date, there are 31 facilities with the “1+1” model and 43 facilities with the “3 have, 3 know” model. The main task of these models is to support women in their comprehensive development, building a prosperous, happy, progressive, and civilized Vietnamese family.
