For other related topics, see Outline of domestic violence.Domestic violence in Chile is a serious problem.[1] A 2004 National Women's Service (SERNAM) study reported that 50 percent of married women had suffered spousal abuse, 34 percent reported having suffered physical violence, and 16 percent reported psychological abuse.[1] From January to November 2005, 76,000 cases of family violence were reported to the Carabineros; 67,913 were reported by women, 6,404 by men, and approximately 1,000 by children.[1]
The courts frequently order counseling for those involved in intrafamily violence.[1] At the end of 2006, there were 29 government and private centers to attend to victims of intrafamily violence.[1] During 2006, the SERNAM partnered with NGOs to conduct courses on the legal, medical, and psychological aspects of domestic violence for police officers and judicial and municipal authorities.[1]
