Every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten in the United States. One in four women are subjected to violence during their lifetime.
Perpetrators do not discriminate in their acts of violence. Women are exposed to domestic violence regardless of race, sexual orientation, income level, and age. Abusers do not differentiate among women of legal residency status and undocumented immigrants. Violence touches all women.
