Homicide is the leading cause of death for women on the job.
The National Institute of Justice estimates that in 60,000 incidents of violence in the workplace the victims know their attackers intimately.

Every 15 seconds a woman is battered. Seventy-nine percent of spousal abuse is committed by men who are divorced or separated from their wives.
