This paper examines obstacles for women who face domestic violence in making decisions about divorce and in seeking and securing support for a divorce. The research was undertaken in the context of a project in one district of a coastal province in Vietnam that sought to reduce gender based-violence and mitigate its effects. Data from in-depth interviews and focus-group discussions are used to examine abused women's attitudes, strategies and behaviours and the responses of people in their communities and in the support system established by the project. The findings show that social norms supporting marriage discourage abused women from seeking divorce and, in some cases, any kind of support, and discourage community-based support networks, police and local court systems from providing effective assistance to these women.
本文探讨了遭受家庭暴力的女性在决定离婚以及寻求和获得离婚支持方面所面临的障碍。这项研究是在越南一个沿海省份某地区的一个项目背景下开展的，该项目旨在减少性别暴力并减轻其影响。来自深度访谈和焦点小组讨论的数据被用于考察受虐妇女的态度、策略和行为，以及她们社区中的人和项目建立的支持系统的反应。研究结果表明，支持婚姻的社会规范阻碍受虐妇女寻求离婚，在某些情况下，还阻碍她们寻求任何形式的支持，同时也阻碍了社区支持网络、警察和地方法院系统向这些妇女提供有效援助。
