Unfortunately, many domestic violence incidents are not reported.
Domestic violence affects one in four women and one in four LGBT individuals during their lifetime.
Women aged 20-24 are at the greatest risk. The leading cause of injury to women is domestic violence, which exceeds car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. Assaults on women occur every 9 seconds in the U.S. Regrettably, 1 in 3 female homicide victims are murdered by their partner or former partner.
Every year, more than 3 million children witness domestic violence in their homes.
A 2005 Michigan study found that children exposed to domestic violence at home are more likely to have health problems. This includes becoming sick more often, having frequent headaches or stomachaches, and being more tired & lethargic.
Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, domestic violence is the third leading cause of homelessness among families.
Survivors of domestic violence face high rates of depression, sleep disturbances, anxiety, flashbacks, and other emotional distress.
Domestic violence contributes to poor health for many survivors. For example, chronic conditions like heart disease or gastrointestinal disorders can become more serious due to domestic violence.
Domestic violence costs more than $37 billion a year in law enforcement involvement, legal work, medical and mental health treatment, and lost productivity at companies.
