please help me...

i am from Pakistan.I am planning to apply for PhD in a Malaysian university and these days i am working on my research proposal which is required by the university. I already have the topic but I am really confused about one thing. I will explain my confusion by an example. Suppose my topic is about “domestic violence”. Will I carry out my research on “domestic violence in Pakistan” or “domestic violence in Malaysia”.That’s just an example.I am stuck what country would I mention,if I have to mention at all.Please help..thanks alot :-)
