1 out of 4 women will be battered in their lifetime- (Estimated range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend to 3 million who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend per year.)

Women make up ¾’s of the victims of homicide by an intimate partner.
(Average of 3 women per day murdered in the U.S. from domestic violence.)

Boys who witness domestic violence between one’s parents are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.

It is sad we have alot less women shelters in the United States than we do animal shelters. It is felony to be cruel to animals. It is a misdemeanor for domestic violence.
( 2008 our government spent $36 billion on animal shelters compared to $1 billion on women’s domestic violence shelters.)

From 2003 to 2008 over 700 Georgia citizens lost their lives due to domestic violence.
