Between 2008 and 2010, 89 women were KILLED by their current or former partner – this equates to almost 1 woman killed every week.
A 2012 survey revealed that 17% of women participants had suffered physical or sexual violence by a current or former partner since the age of 15, and 5.3% of their male counterparts were affected. Emotional abuse is also very common, affecting 1 in 4 women.
These are serious figures.
