Impact of Domestic Violence on the Workplace in China – Executive Summary

China’s Anti-Domestic Violence Law (DV Law) identifies employers as key stakeholders in addressing domestic violence.

The Asia Foundation and SynTao Co., Ltd. conducted research to fill this gap, and the findings reveal how domestic violence impacts both employees and their coworkers, and how domestic violence has cost implications for employers.
