For those who can only think in dollars [View all]

The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $8.3 billion per year.

On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.
1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.
1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men in the United States has been raped in their lifetime.
