Around the world at least one woman in every three has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Most often the abuser is a member of her own family.
Ending violence against women, a report from the Center for Communications Programs, Johns Hopkins University

Approximately 1.5 million women and 834,700 men are raped and/or physicallyÊassaulted by an intimate partner each year.
Center for Disease Control

Children who witness domestic violence are more likely to exhibit behavioral and physical health problems including depression, anxiety and violence towards peers. Adolescents are also more likely to attempt suicide, abuse drugs and alcohol, run away from home, engage in teenage prostitution and commit sexual assault crimes.
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services

More women than men experience intimate partner violence. According to the National Violence Against Women Survey, 1 out of 4 U.S. women has been physically assaulted or raped by an intimate partner; 1 out of every 14 U.S. men reported such an experience

These statistics shock and horrify me, as a therapist with 25 years experience in the field, including time supervising interns at a Battered Women's Shelter. I keep looking back on my practice, wondering how many of my patients have been victims of spousal and partner abuse; how much I have missed.
