Project to stamp out domestic violence expands (2)

The center has handled 50 cases since August, and about half of the victims who received assistance reported no further violence, according to the committee.

With the help of public security authorities, the model will now be rolled out to all 124 neighborhoods in the city's Shenhe district, Yang Xiaodan, chairwoman of the district women's federation, said at a launch ceremony on Sunday, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

"In recent years, emergency calls related to domestic violence have accounted for 20 percent on average," said Lu Zhenwei, deputy director of Wulihe police station, which ran the initial pilot. "Domestic violence happens from time to time, and cases often deteriorate without effective intervention."
