If You Have Suffered Domestic Violence, You Need a Strong Advocate
If you are a victim of domestic violence or domestic abuse, know that you are not alone. According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 4.7 million women are victims of physical violence each year[1] and 1 in every 7 men experience physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetimes[2].
Domestic abuse is not just limited to physical violence. It can include stalking, harassment, verbal abuse, threats, and emotional and financial abuse as well. Abuse can occur in person, on the phone, and online.
