Law can better protect women from domestic violence

YU YA, A COSMETICS LIVESTREAMER, revealed she was the victim of domestic violence in a post on her micro blog on Monday, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

"For the past half a year, I have been living in a nightmare", Yu wrote in a micro blog, "Now I have to speak out." She posted a video detailing her boyfriend's abuse that included interviews with her boyfriend's two ex-wives, who also suffered from his beatings.

The man once stamped on Yu's face and the attack was so violent that she could not even wear makeup and do her job as a cosmetics promoter for a whole week. He also kicked one of his wives in the stomach when she was pregnant.
