Experienced Any Domestic Violence in Lifetime - % of Women
In the U.S., domestic violence hotlines receive around 20,000 calls each day. The statistics of domestic violence paint a disturbing picture: Abuse aimed at women by a spouse or romantic partner is still at a disturbing level despite all the work by government agencies to educate communities.
Data shows that one in three females face physical violence, rape, or stalking by someone they live with at some point in their life. And nearly one in five of these incidents involves a weapon.
Domestic violence is one of the most common forms of abuse experienced among women worldwide. According to a National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), around 41% of women in the U.S. experienced sexual violence, physical violence, or stalking by their romantic partner at some point in their lives.
More than 61 million women have been subjected to psychological aggression by their significant other. It’s safe to say that the female population is dealing with abuse way more than men. The research and studies, backed by statistical data from well-established educational institutions and organizations, strongly support this point.
