In China, domestic violence is considered to be an act that does not require severe punishment. In the past, domestic violence was perceived as a 'privilege' of the 'dominant' family member, who could beat and scold other family members at will. Many victims are also reluctant to seek help due to outdated perceptions. Yuan Zhong, an NGO dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence escape negative situations, can provide financial help and shelter. We try to light up the hope for a painless future.
