Domestic violence in Bolivia is a pervasive and underreported problem.[1] According to the Center for the Information and Development of Women (CIDEM), 70 percent of women suffer some form of abuse.[1]
CIDEM noted that their 2006 statistics "did not reflect the full magnitude of the problem of violence against women" and that "a great number of women" did not report the aggression they faced on a daily basis.[1] The most exhaustive national survey on domestic violence conducted by the National Statistical Institute in 2003 showed 64 percent of women were the target of some form of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse from their partner.[1]
