Domestic Abuse is a pattern of abusive conduct by one partner in an intimate relationship against another. It can include physical and sexual violence, emotional and verbal abuse, economic control, stalking, destruction of property, isolation and intimidation.
An individual does not necessarily need to be physically abusive to be considered an abuser, but can be someone who is completely controlling over bank accounts and all money that is spent, someone who purposely isolates the partner from friends and family, or someone who uses putdowns and name-calling for intimidation purposes. It also describes an intimate partner who won’t give you personal freedom. He follows you places against your will.

Domestic Violence is a serious threat to women. More women than men experience domestic violence. One in every four women will experience domestic abuse in her lifetime. Females who are 20 – 24 years of age have the highest chance of being abused. Approximately 1.3 million women are physically assaulted by intimate partners each year. Each day in America approximately 3 women are murdered by boyfriends or spouses. Studies show that up to 10 million children observe some form of domestic abuse each year.
3. Do parts of the country experience more cases of Domestic Violence than others?
Intimate partner violence is at epidemic proportions affecting all races, religions and nationalities. However, research shows that people with annual income below $25,000 are at a 3-times higher risk of intimate partner violence than people who make over $50,000 per year. Victims with higher income levels tend to not report the abuse. Statistics also show that residents of urban areas reported more domestic abuse than in suburban areas. Furthermore, African-American women face higher numbers of domestic violence than white women, and American-Indian women are abused at a rate more than double that of women of other races. Unfortunately, only about 50% of domestic violence incidents are reported.
