This is true all over the world, most women and children are abused - physically, sexually, mentally - by people closest to them. Opportunity is probably the main reason. Far more Uncle Jimmy/Pastor Tom/Father John pedophiles than Stanley the Stranger pedophiles.
And of course most women who are beaten are by their own husbands and boyfriends (and fathers...).
The lack of outside help is a huge concern. Our "system" here in the US is certainly imperfect but at least there IS a system of gov't bureaucracy, privately run shelters and the like.
