This problem is not only Vietnamese problem. In many Asian countries infected by Confucianism, including my country, Japan, there is a history of keeping the status of women low.
First, people should understand what domestic violence is and discuss each other in their family. But once domestic violence has happened, it is often too late as the women and children are usually at their wits' end in front of overwhelming violence.
Japan now has a law prohibiting domestic violence, but police maintain a policy of non-intervention in civil affairs. The nation is also uninterested in the law and its meaning, so nothing has improved.
It might help if people associated more with their neighbours. Once upon a time in Japan, older, well experienced people would be called into solve problems such as domestic violence or brawls between husband and wife.
