Some estimates are even higher.
Women are about six times more likely than men to experience violence committed by an intimate. At work, women are also more likely than men to be attacked by an intimate, whereas men are more likely to be attacked by a stranger. Each year nearly one million individuals become victims of violent crime while working or on duty. When an employee is the target of attack in the workplace by an intimate, other employees may also be placed at risk. Homicide is by far the most frequent manner in which women workers are fatally injured at work.
