82. Violence Against Women In The United States attacks on lesbians and gay men have become Victims of domestic violence are being denied insurance in finally secured passage of the violence against Women Act http://www.now.org/issues/violence/stats.html

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES MURDER . Every day four women die in this country as a result of domestic violence, the euphemism for murders and assaults by husbands and boyfriends. That's approximately 1,400 women a year, according to the FBI. The number of women who have been murdered by their intimate partners is greater than the number of soldiers killed in the Vietnam War. BATTERING . Although only 572,000 reports of assault by intimates are officially reported to federal officials each year, the most conservative estimates indicate two to four million women of all races and classes are battered each year. At least 170,000 of those violent incidents are serious enough to require hospitalization, emergency room care or a doctor's attention. SEXUAL ASSAULT . Every year approximately 132,000 women report that they have been victims of rape or attempted rape, and more than half of them knew their attackers. It's estimated that two to six times that many women are raped, but do not report it. Every year 1.2 million women are forcibly raped by their current or former male partners, some more than once. THE TARGETS . Women are 10 times more likely than men to be victimized by an intimate. Young women, women who are separated, divorced or single, low- income women and African-American women are disproportionately victims of assault and rape. Domestic violence rates are five times higher among families below poverty levels, and severe spouse abuse is twice as likely to be committed by unemployed men as by those working full time. Violent attacks on lesbians and gay men have become two to three times more common than they were prior to 1988.

83. National Crime Victim's Rights Week: Reach For The Stars, April 22-28, 2001 domestic violence. Estimates 1998. By contrast, during this period intimate partners committed 3% of the violence against men. (Ibid.). http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/ncvrw/2001/stat_over_5.htm

Domestic Violence Estimates from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) indicate that in 1998, about 1 million violent crimes were committed against persons by their current or former spouses, boyfriends, or girlfriends. (Rennison, C. et al. May 2000. "Intimate Partner Violence." Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report , NCJ 178247. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs.) About 85% of intimate victimizations by intimate partners in 1998, or 876,340 victimizations, were against women. (Ibid.) Between 1993 and 1998, children under the age of twelve resided in 43% of the households where intimate partner violence occurred. (Ibid.) Intimate partner violence made up 22% of violent crime against women between 1993 and 1998. By contrast, during this period intimate partners committed 3% of the violence against men. (Ibid.) The percentage of female murder victims killed by intimate partners has remained at about 30% since 1976. (Ibid.)

Domestic Violence Against Women: A Global Issue Paula Kantor University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill College of Arts and Sciences Department of City and Regional Planning T he University Center for International Studies (UCIS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill presents the Carolina Papers in International Health and Development, a series of UNC-CH graduate student working papers designed to address timely issues of international health in the developing world, broadly construed. This series of working papers promotes scholarship and discussion of important topics in the fields of health and development, as well as raises awareness of the importance of health and development issues among international-affairs specialists. The Papers also provides a vehicle for UNC-CH graduate students to publicize their research and ideas among a wider audience than currently exists, as well as gain valuable experience in the process of submitting and revising a paper for a peer-review journal. Submissions to the Carolina Papers in International Health and Development are reviewed anonymously by UNC-CH graduate students specializing in international health and development. Papers are selected for printing on a competitive basis, and authors whose work is selected receive a modest award. Papers submitted to the series must address a major theme focusing on international health and development and present a coherent, well-written, and well-documented argument. Papers must not have been published prior to submission to the Carolina Papers. The views expressed by the authors of the Carolina Papers are not necessarily shared by UCIS or the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Additional copies of the Carolina Papers may be purchased for two dollars each.

88. Understanding The Problem Of Men's Violence Against Women Has domestic violence always existed the past 100 years tells us there were once many societies with little or no violence against women, violence among men http://www.asafeplaceforhelp.org/understandingmensviolence.html

Understanding the Problem of Men's Violence Against Women Violence against women includes wife assault, date rape, sexual harassment, stalking, domineering and controlling behaviors, unwanted sexual advances, demeaning sexist jokes, and murder. Why does it occur? Is violence against women a big problem in the United States? Has domestic violence always existed? Why does it occur? Is violence against women a big problem in the United States? Violence against women is everywhere. It is the most common crime in our country today. It effects women of all age groups, religions, socio-economic classes, and cultural backgrounds. Studies reveal that: One-half of all married women suffer physical abuse from their husbands at least once in their marriage. Every 9 seconds a woman is beaten. Wife abuse is equally common among upper and lower income families, and slightly more prevalent among middle income families. One-fourth of all homicides in the US are between family members and 40% of all women who are murdered die at the hands of their husbands or lovers. In Illinois alone, 35,000 children and 20,000 elderly people will be abused or neglected by their families this year.

91. PEN (People S Equality Network) Has Sent Me Two Reports On and always has been statistically insignificant, especially by comparison with men s violence against women. A recent report on domestic violence published by http://www.massey.ac.nz/~kbirks/gender/viol/pen.htm

"PEN" (People's Equality Network) has sent me two reports on domestic violence in Australia. they are: Domestic Violence - Recent Statistics in Victoria and: Domestic Violence - 'Shameful statistics exposed' People's Equality Network - January 1995 Domestic Violence - Recent Statistics in Victoria Summary Domestic violence is a disturbing cultural problem, and a highly emotive issue for everyone. In most public presentations of the subject, it is portrayed primarily in gender terms: that of male violence against women. One major report - the National Strategy on Violence Against Women - has gone so far as to depict domestic violence as 'a specific women-only problem', and to call for the term 'domestic violence' to be replaced exclusively with the term 'violence against women'. Such an attitude is likely to be counter-productive, because it fails to address - in effect explicitly refuses to address - the equally real problem of violence by women. Violence by women is a problem which our society has consistently failed to address, usually on the grounds that it is and always has been statistically insignificant, especially by comparison with men's violence against women. A recent report on domestic violence published by VicHealth (Victorian Health Promotion Foundation) states that the relative injury ratios as a result of inter-partner physical assaults are approximately 5:1 female to male. Such a ratio would indicate that although physical violence by women would seem to be far less common than men's, it would have to be considered 'statistically significant', and realistic allowances made for it within the development of any meaningful strategy on domestic violence.

search site index faq about us ... what's new Domestic Violence Factoids Richard J. Gelles University of Rhode Island Family Violence Research Program Publication Date: Return to top of the page Understanding Domestic Violence Factoids According to the FBI, A Woman is Beaten Every (fill in the blank) SECONDS First, the FBI does not calculate, tabulate, or track data on domestic violence. The FBI once did estimate that a women is beaten every 15 seconds, but they derived this estimate from Murray Straus, Richard J. Gelles, and Suzanne K. Steinmetz's book, Behind Closed Doors: Violence in the American Family. Various other fact sheets list various other number of seconds. The number of seconds depends on the study (if there actually was one) and how violence was defined. For example, some versions of this factoid state that a women is beaten every 9 seconds and cite a study done by the Commonwealth Fund in July, 1993. The Commonwealth Fund study used the same measure as was used by Straus and his colleagues. Unlike Straus and his colleagues who defined "abuse" as acts of violence that were likely to cause and injury, the Commonwealth Fund defined "abuse" as every thing from pushing, shoving, and slapping to using a gun or knife. There Are Four Million Women Beaten and Abused Each Year Same problems as above. The Straus, Gelles, and Steinmetz survey estimated that 2 million women were abused each year by their husbands. Straus and his colleagues speculated that if all the respondents told the truth and if ex-husbands and boyfriends were included, the number could be as high as 4 million. However, no study to date using a representative sample and measuring severe violence, has found more than 2 million abused women each year.
