In social life, domestic violence is still a problem, causing pain for humanity, leaving many serious consequences for people, especially for women and children.
Therefore, in recent years, our Party and State have paid much attention to preventing and combating domestic violence and have issued many policies and laws on family such as: Law on Marriage and Family; Law on Protection, Care and Education of Children; Civil Code; Law on Prevention and Combating Domestic Violence..., to more effectively prevent and combat domestic violence and contribute to the good implementation of family work.
In Quang Tri province, with the attention of Party committees and authorities at all levels, family work and domestic violence prevention have been implemented synchronously from the province to the grassroots. The good traditional values of Vietnamese families have been inherited and promoted; backward customs have been gradually eliminated, and the village and neighborhood relationships have become closer, united, and mutually supportive in life. The situation of domestic violence has tended to decrease over the years.
However, looking at it objectively and comprehensively, domestic violence still occurs in most localities. Although the number of domestic violence cases has decreased, there are still many complicated cases. Moral degradation, selfish and insensitive lifestyles are showing signs of increasing in a segment of the population, especially among the youth. Social evils continue to penetrate families and schools. Recently, many serious cases of domestic violence and child abuse have occurred in the province, causing anxiety and frustration in public opinion.

The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism actively guides localities to integrate and include the criteria "No domestic violence"; "Exemplary grandparents and parents, filial children"; "Raising healthy children, teaching good children"... into consideration for recognition of cultural titles. Actively promote the good traditions of the family, the role of the clan in education, maintaining stability, solidarity and love in the family, civilized communication and behavior, exemplary compliance with local conventions and village regulations.
