Kazakhstan.

The biggest problem in Kazakhstan today is domestic violence.

"By the end of 2020, the number of crimes related to domestic violence increased by 4.7%. This was announced by Deputy Chairman of the Administrative Police Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan Alexei Milyuk at a press conference".

A woman is an individual like a man, she can have her own dreams and desires. In the 21st century, it may seem foolish to explain such a clear fact, since human beings are ultimately intelligent beings, who can give a full account of their actions, but unfortunately, this hasn't turned out to be true. Every year, about 400 women die from domestic violence, and by 2020, the police received about 130,000 complaints and allegations of violence, and keep in mind that's not all, because some women are afraid to make a complaint; because they know they can't go anywhere. And It's foolish to blame women for this.

Every time on the Internet there are such hot topics as "A woman was beaten by her husband in Kazakhstan" and so on, people either feel sorry for the woman or try to justify the man's actions: "Maybe it's her fault?" Or "Why didn't she leave him?". It's sad to hear such things, 'cause it's easier for many to blame than to try to understand and help women in such difficult life situations. In Kazakhstan, large families are normal and common things, and families with only one child are rare. In addition, many girls marry early after graduating from school/college/university and rarely work, as many of them grow up dependent on the idea of ​​being a "good wife, mother, and housewife" from childhood. When domestic violence begins, a woman cannot take her things and leave, 'cause she doesn't want to leave her children without a father; 'cause she has nowhere else to go. Even if she has a job, it'll be very difficult to take care of the children, so some women endure their husbands' misbehavior and keep silent about their problems in the family.

Even if she works, she'll never be able to get a normal apartment for herself and her kids in the next 10 years, 'cause the salary won't be enough, and if a woman didn't graduate from university with the profession, it'll be twice as difficult. Again, it gets worse and harder when a woman is pregnant. Many employers refuse to hire pregnant women, 'cause they don't want to pay maternity leave later. Of course, a woman can live with her parents, but many girls are ashamed to come home again, 'cause they think: "It's such a shame" and "What will people think about it?".

In this case, calling the police doesn't help much. The police come and take the abuser to the police station. At best, they'll keep him there 15 hours or less. What happens next? He goes home and beats his wife again, which is repeated day after day, but until she gets tired of it all and decides that patience is the best option in this situation.

From the administration:
We'd also like to add that the economic situation in Kazakhstan is pretty bad, therefore, the lack of an opportunity for a woman to go somewhere alone (or even more with children) is quite logical. Also, according to the results of a study conducted in 2019, almost 93% of the population consider themselves to be believers. The two main religions in Kazakhstan are Islam and Christianity. According to data for 2010, 70.1% of believers are Muslims, then 24.7% are Christians, also 4.2% are non-religious and 1% are other religions. Unfortunately, religious teachings and beliefs also negatively affect the situation of domestic violence and the position of women in society.
