The Social Affairs Bureau (IAS) will publish its first report in September about its findings on domestic violence cases, Daniel Tang Yuk Wa, who heads the bureau’s Family and Community Services Department, said yesterday.
The Law on Preventing and Combating Domestic Violence came into force in October last year.According to previous media reports, the bureau announced early this month that it will publish data about domestic violence cases every six months, such as the financial situation of the families affected by domestic violence and the causes of the cases. The anonymous data will be released on the bureau’s website.
