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.
Women account for 95 percent of domestic violence victims. In the U.S., a woman is more likely to be assaulted, injured, raped, or killed by a male partner than by any other type of assailant. The victim brought the domestic violence on herself. If she just behaved better, it wouldn't happen. No one deserves to be punched, kicked, slapped, or threatened with a weapon.
