Despite the Government’s strong political commitment, the 2019 National Study on Violence Against Women released in July 2020 found that nearly 63 percent of women (compared to 58 percent in 2010) have experienced one or other forms of physical, sexual, emotional, and economic violence, and controlling behaviors by their husband or intimate partners in their lifetime; and, almost all women (90.4 per cent compared to 87.1 percent in 2010) who experienced physical and/or sexual violence by husbands did not seek any help while only a very few (4.8 per cent) went to the police.
