5 Countries with the Highest Rates of Domestic Violence

2. Fiji 

Percentage of violence: 52%

Many states from Oceania have made it to this list of countries with the highest rates of domestic violence, and Fiji comes in the second spot. The increase in domestic violence amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the country was labeled as a ‘crisis within a crisis’ by experts, which required immediate attention. A 2015 paper discovered that the cost of domestic violence to the local Fijian economy was 6.6% of the country’s entire GDP.
