- According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, women experience about 4.8 million intimate partner-related physical assaults and rapes every year.
- Less than 20 percent of battered women sought medical treatment following an injury.
- One in five women and one in 71 men have been raped in their lifetimes and nearly 1.3 million women in the U.S. are raped every year

- feeling that nothing can/will be done and
- the personal nature of the incident
- One in every four women and one in every seven men have experienced severe physical violence by a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend
US Census Bureau, National Crime Victimization Survey
- “growing up in a violent home may be a terrifying and traumatic experience that can affect every aspect of a child’s life, growth and development. .
- children who have been exposed to family violence suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, such as bed-wetting or nightmares,
- and were at greater risk than their peers of having allergies, asthma, gastrointestinal problems, headaches and flu.”
Stalkers victimize approximately 5.2 million women and 1.4 million men each year in the U.S, with domestic violence-related stalking and often the most dangerous.
In addition, women who experience physical abuse as children are at a greater risk of victimization as adults, and men have a far greater (more than double) likelihood of perpetrating abuse.
