October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
- One out of every three women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.
- More than three women are murdered by their partners in the United States every day. For women who are pregnant, homicide is the leading cause of death.
- Women between the ages of 16 and 24 have the highest risk of being victimized by intimate partner violence.
- Of teenagers who have experienced a physical assault by an intimate partner, less than three percent reported the incident to an authority figure such as the police, a social worker, a counselor, or a teacher.
Women are HALF the world’s population,
Work TWO THIRDS of the world’s working hours,
Receiving 10% of the world’s income,
Owning less than 1% of the world’s property.
