Do you have exact numbers? If you have exact figures than you can do the math and find out the exact ratio to know which continent is ahead. Otherwise, I would recommend you to stop assuming things. I know, it happens in india so often but let's be logical rather than regressive we all know its not subcontinent issue but it's actually a worldwide issue.
One in every third woman in India.
Also this is happening in a desi society hence my comment. Ofcourse it happens everywhere but it is almost encouraged here and part of society. Husband getting angry and beating up his wife or daughters is guised as part of family. So much so that it's the way of life for most and they don't even know it's happening. I would say people in western countries are a lot more self aware too. I don't get you at all. Yeah its a problem everywhere but domestic violence is rampant in most families in desi societies and hence my comment.
