Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence
85-95% of all domestic violence victims are women, and over 500,000 women are stalked by their partners each year. Currently, domestic violence is the leading cause of injury for women in the United States.
In cases of domestic violence, the abusive spouse may also try to control the marital property and income. Victims of domestic abuse fear losing their children, losing their home, and may be too embarrassed or afraid to admit abuse to their families. People experiencing domestic violence are encouraged to speak with law authorities and seek counsel from an attorney to protect their individual rights and take legal action.
