1 Domestic violence is not very common. It is a private, family matter and other people should mind their own business. Every year domestic violence adds three to five billion dollars to our country's healthcare costs.
Domestic violence is just a slap or a push.
Nobody gets seriously hurt. Each year more than one million women seek medical assistance for injuries caused by domestic violence. The FBI reports that 30 percent of female homicide victims are killed by their husbands or male partners, compared to six percent of men. Women are not the only victims of domestic violence. Men are just as likely to be victims.
