Its a big country, over 40m people, so any answer is a generalised one.
In the constitution women are guaranteed equal rights with men. This is enforced and anyone with a problem can bring it to the police or the Equality Court.
But, on the ground it is culture that determines treatment.
In more traditional communities the role of women is to maintain the household, which would be to do all the chores. While this is discriminatory and demeaning there is not a lot of physical maltreatment.
The most serious problems arise in recently urbanised communities. In these the social controls that protect women in traditional communities are dropped, and those of the middle classes are not yet adopted so there is a control vacuum. In those circumstances there is a lot of violence against women. Rape, prostitution and abandonment of women are well known.
In the wealthier areas, social controls are stronger and maltreatment is far less, though not absent.
