Domestic violence higher in Japan tsunami zone

Chris Engel 3/8/134:30 PM

"Domestic violence in Japan's tsunami and atomic disaster zone has risen dramatically, a report released on Friday -- International Women's Day -- said.

Increased stress caused by coping with the aftermath of the tsunami of March 2011, or the fear of radiation from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, could be to blame, said the report from news agency Jiji Press....

Many families from Fukushima have been split apart, with men forced to stay behind because they are unable to find work near to the temporary homes to which their wives and children have fled.

A local support group cited by Jiji said this could lead to frustrations that may also increase violence in the home."
