Updated: 2021-03-02

North China's Shanxi province officially implemented "Shanxi Province's Domestic Violence Prevention and Disposal Measures" on March 1. 

The implementation of the measures aims to prevent and eliminate domestic violence and protect family members' legitimate rights and interests. 

The document has 25 articles, mainly divided into eight parts covering legislative purposes, government responsibilities and establishing a system to handle and prevent domestic violence. The measures also address the warning signs of domestic violence, the implementation of personal safety protection orders, domestic violence remedies and the emphasis on privacy protection. 

For example, the document includes provisions clarifying the various options available to domestic violence victims, their relatives and their legal representatives while pursuing recourse. The goal is to make it easier for the public to know and protect their rights and interests under the law.
