Domestic Violence Statistics

Knowing domestic violence statistics is eye opening and scary. You are far from alone in this battle. This has become a worldwide epidemic. It is vital that you know as much as possible and are aware of the seriousness of what you are dealing with.

While visiting the Domestic Violence Resource Center website, which I highly recommend, I learned:

* 1 in 3 women, and 1 in 4 men have experienced domestic violence in their life time by an intimate partner.

* 1 in 15 children witness domestic violence every year.

I only included a few statistics to help create a bigger picture, show you that you are not alone, and let you know how serious this issue is.

I don't want to waste time posting information that you can read on other reliable sights. I set up the above link to open another window on your computer so that you won't lose your place here.

You might be feeling scared. Your feelings will help keep you safe. At the same time, you need to be empowered. Remember, knowledge is power.

I hope you will see the importance of having a safety plan. Please take time to look over the information on this site and start planning your future.
