Claim: The cost of social division to the public purse in NI ranges between £400m and £830m every year. (Alliance Party, 2023-05-04)
Evidence (2023-04-04): The divided education and school system in Northern Ireland costs £226m extra a year to the public purse, new research claims. [...] The new UU paper said that "much of the economic cost of division in Northern Irish society is due to duplication". [...] "Societal divisions persist and continue to cost our economy, define our confrontational politics and blight the lives of many of the people who live here.
Claim: The cost of social division to the public purse in NI ranges between £400m and £830m every year. (Alliance Party, 2023-05-04)
Evidence (2023-12-05): "The price of past division, and its consequences in the present day, can be measured in financial, social and even environmental costs. Our research would estimate the total additional cost of maintaining a divided education system at £226 million each year, or over £600,000 every day of the year. Societal divisions persist and continue to cost our economy, define our confrontational politics and blight the lives of many of the people who live here. These costs can also be seen in our education system, where division, separation and duplication all add unnecessary and increasingly unaffordable costs. Consequently, funding which could be spent directly on educating children and young people is wasted.

Evidence (2016-03-11): Division in Northern Ireland 'costs up to £833m a year' Northern Ireland public services incur additional annual costs of up to £833m in which division may be a factor, according to a new report. [...] The last major report on the economic impact of division in Northern Ireland was produced in 2007 and put the cost at £1.5bn., external

Evidence (2024-03-11): "Northern Ireland has not had a strategy to deal with child poverty for almost two years, during a cost-of-living crisis. A failure to tackle child poverty early and effectively risks lifelong impacts to children’s health, education and general development. There is also a considerable cost to the public purse, with previous estimates indicating costs of child poverty to be between £825 million and £1 billion annually."

Evidence (2016-04-05): Divided, we are still standing ... but wobbly. The refreshed Stormont House Agreement asked the Northern Ireland Executive to report on the cost of division to Northern Ireland society. That task was then passed to the Ulster University Economic Policy Centre. Their task was primarily an examination of the extra costs in providing public services in a divided society. Mervyn Storey, Minister of Finance, announced the headline figures which, at first sight, were lower than expected. The UU report quotes a range of costs for 'division' which, at the lower end, were £400m pa and, at the upper end, might be as much as £800m pa. Within annual public sector spending, the largest element of extra spending is the costs of division in the budget for policing, prisons and justice. Compared to the next most expensive region, Northern Ireland was spending £312m more each year: compared to a lower-cost comparator, Northern Ireland was spending £550m more each year.
Claim: The cost of social division to the public purse in NI ranges between £400m and £830m every year. (Alliance Party, 2023-05-04)
Evidence (2023-05-16): A further point to note is the wide ranges involved with all these estimates. The £830m upper bound for the estimated cost of division is more than double the lower bound (£400m). [...] The Cost of Division in Northern Ireland is a briefing paper from UU’s Transforming Education series. Although this new report’s primary focus is on education, it also looks at the wider context of division. [...] "In 2016, the Economic Policy Centre at Ulster University produced figures for the cost of division in NI. They too admitted that teasing out the costs that are due to division is challenging and, in relation to social costs for example, they concede that "division has created significant social issues and associated costs, but these have not been identified or quantified". Also, they only considered data provided by others – they undertook no primary research themselves. Nonetheless, by comparing the costs for public services in NI with other similar regions of the UK, they produced an upper and a lower figure within which costs could at least partly be ascribed to division. This additional cost was calculated at between around £400 million and £830 million per year – over half of this attributed to policing and justice which is considerably more expensive in NI than elsewhere in the UK."

Evidence (2018-02-02): "Currently, there are at least two to three women per week who are killed by their ex-partners or current partners." [...] Just under half of all women killed were killed by their partners or ex-partners, according to the latest official statistics for England and Wales in 2015/16 (44%). These numbers seem sadly stable over time. Between the start of 2009 and end of 2015, the Femicide Census found 598 women in England and Wales who were killed by men who were their current or former partners—an average of 85 women per year.

Evidence (2018-04-30): In 2005, 1,181 women were murdered by an intimate partner.1 That’s an average of three women every day. Of all the women murdered in the U.S., about one-third were killed by an intimate partner.2 [...] According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, which includes crimes that were not reported to the police, 232,960 women in the U.S. were raped or sexually assaulted in 2006. That’s more than 600 women every day.6 Other estimates, such as those generated by the FBI, are much lower because they rely on data from law enforcement agencies. A significant number of crimes are never even reported for reasons that include the victim’s feeling that nothing can/will be done and the personal nature of the incident.7 Young women, low-income women and some minorities are disproportionately victims of domestic violence and rape. Women ages 20-24 are at greatest risk of nonfatal domestic violence8, and women age 24 and under suffer from the highest rates of rape.9 The Justice Department estimates that one in five women will experience rape or attempted rape during their college years, and that less than five percent of these rapes will be reported.10 Income is also a factor: the poorer the household, the higher the rate of domestic violence — with women in the lowest income category experiencing more than six times the rate of nonfatal intimate partner violence as compared to women in the highest income category.11 When we consider race, we see that African-American women face higher rates of domestic violence than white women, and American-Indian women are victimized at a rate more than double that of women of other races.12

Evidence (2024-07-01): Just days before the General Election, we have released our report on UK femicides in 2021 Our report, on women killed by men in 2021 is released, just days before a general election. Since the Conservative government came to power in May 2010, the lives of at least 1,924 women have been cut short by men. That’s an average of one woman dead at the hands of a man every 2.7 days. It is vital that the incoming government understands that it is not good enough to leave femicide reform to grieving families and loved ones.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Domestic, dating, and sexual violence are costly and pervasive problems in the U.S., causing victims, as well as witnesses and bystanders, in every community to suffer incalculable pain and loss. [...] Domestic, Dating and Sexual Violence in the United States - On average more than three women a day are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in the United States.1 - Nearly one in four women in the United States reports experiencing violence by a current or former spouse or boyfriend at some point in her life.2 - Women are much more likely than men to be victimized by a current or former intimate partner.3 Women are 84 percent of spouse abuse victims and 86 percent of victims of abuse at the hands of a boyfriend or girlfriend. About three-fourths of the persons who commit family violence are male.4 - Women ages 20 to 24 are at the greatest risk of experiencing nonfatal intimate partner violence.5 [...] Prevalence of Violence Against Women Globally - The United Nations Development Fund for Women estimates that at least one of every three women globally will be beaten, raped or otherwise abused during her lifetime. In most cases, the abuser is a member of her own family.12

Evidence (2024-02-01): On average, one woman is killed every nine days by a current or former partner. [...] Women with disability in Australia are twice as likely to have experienced sexual violence over their lifetime than women without disabilities. The type of disability can intersect with gender and different forms of violence for example, 1 in 2 women with psychological and/or cognitive impairment has experienced sexual violence. [...] Young women (18–34 years) experience significantly higher rates of physical and sexual violence than women in older age groups.

Evidence (2021-03-09): One in three women globally, around 736 million, have been subjected to physical or sexual violence in their lifetimes, according to new analysis by the World Health Organization (WHO). [...] One in four women aged between 15 and 24 years will have already experienced violence by an intimate partner by the time they reach their mid-twenties. [...] "Violence against women is a global public health problem of pandemic proportions, and it starts at an early age," study writer Dr Claudia Garcia-Moreno told the BBC. "The number could be much larger as fear of stigma could be a barrier to many women reporting sexual violence."
Claim: On average, three women are killed by men every week, while one in four women has been a victim of rape or sexual assault at some point. (Kate Nicholl, 2023-01-11)
Evidence (2021-03-09): Violence against women remains devastatingly pervasive and starts alarmingly young, shows new data from WHO and partners. Across their lifetime, 1 in 3 women, around 736 million, are subjected to physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner or sexual violence from a non-partner – a number that has remained largely unchanged over the past decade. [...] Intimate partner violence is by far the most prevalent form of violence against women globally (affecting around 641 million). However, 6% of women globally report being sexually assaulted by someone other than their husband or partner. Given the high levels of stigma and under-reporting of sexual abuse, the true figure is likely to be significantly higher. [...] Violence disproportionately affects women living in low- and lower-middle-income countries. An estimated 37% of women living in the poorest countries have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence in their life, with some of these countries having a prevalence as high as 1 in 2.

Evidence (2022-06-30): Of these women, 109 were killed by a man and 10 by a woman. In 58 cases there was no known suspect. This means that - where the suspect was known - 92% of women were killed by men in the year ending March 2021. [...] Records from the past decade show that 134 women were killed by men in Scotland. This means in cases where a suspect was identified during this period, 89% of female murder victims were killed by a man. [...] In Scotland, over two-fifths of female victims were killed by their partner or ex-partner.

Evidence (2019-12-09): Here is the grim reality, in numbers: A third of all women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, half of women killed worldwide were killed by their partners or family, and violence perpetrated against women is as common a cause of death and incapacity for those of reproductive age, as cancer, and a greater cause of ill health than road accidents and malaria combined. [...] Some national studies examining incidents in the United States show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and or sexual violence from an intimate partner, according to UN Women. [...] While gender-based violence can happen to anyone, women who identify with the LGBTI community, migrants and refugees, indigenous minorities, and those living through humanitarian crises, are particularly vulnerable to gender-based harm.

Evidence (2013-10-25): One in three women will experience violence in her lifetime. Her experience will deprive her of human rights, put her at risk of mental and physical health problems, and potentially trap her in poverty. [...] - 35% of women in the world in 2013 have experienced violence. That could be physical or sexual violence from someone they know, or sexual violence from a stranger. [...] In the UK - Two women are killed by their partner every week in England and Wales. Of all female homicides, 40% are killed by gendered violence.

Evidence (2021-03-09): One in three women globally are subjected to physical or sexual violence during their lifetimes, estimates a damning new report from the World Health Organization (WHO) released hours after International Women’s Day. [...] Intimate partner violence is the most common form suffered by women, with around 641 million affected globally. The organization said younger women remain particularly at risk of such violence, with one in four women aged 15 to 24 suffering violence at the hands of an intimate partner by the time they reached their mid-twenties. "It’s deeply disturbing that this pervasive violence by men against women not only persists unchanged, but is at its worst for young women aged 15-24 who may also be young mothers. And that was the situation before the pandemic stay-at home orders," said UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka.

Evidence (2023-07-04): - 1 in 4 women (24.3%) and 1 in 7 men (13.8%) aged 18 and older in the US have been the victim of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. [...] - - Over 1 in 3 women (35.6%) and 1 in 4 men (28.5%) in the US have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. [...] Sexual violence statistics - Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and 1 in 71 men (1.4%) have been raped in their lifetime.

Evidence (2023-09-02): Femicides/Feminicides - In 2022, around 48,800 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members. This means that, on average, more than five women or girls are killed every hour by someone in their own family. [...] Prevalence of violence against women and girls - Globally, an estimated 736 million women—almost one in three—have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both at least once in their life (30 per cent of women aged 15 and older). This figure does not include sexual harassment. The rates of depression, anxiety disorders, unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV are higher in women who have experienced violence compared to women who have not, as well as many other health problems that can last after the violence has ended. [...] - Of those who have been in a relationship, almost one in four adolescent girls aged 15–19 (24 per cent) has experienced physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner or husband. Sixteen per cent of young women aged 15 to 24 experienced this violence in the past 12 months [9].

Evidence (2017-12-14): Throughout my early adolescence, I was constantly, tortuously checking myself for evil impulses. I made a blood oath with myself that if I started feeling the desire to rape children I would kill myself and make it look like a mountaineering accident. I was already in the habit of solo rock climbing. No partners, no ropes, despite my parents' repeated warnings against such a dangerous activity. Had I throw myself down a mountain they would have believed it. And better a son who died climbing than one who lived and rape kids. [...] It seemed insane to me now that I was actually going to kill a man instead of just bringing out in the open what he had done to me. But that's how kiddie rapers get away with it. They depend upon shame and embarrassment to keep their victims quiet. By the time I was an adult, I feared that if my friends knew my secret they wouldn't trust me around their children. And parents need to be watchful. The commonly accepted estimate among law enforcement and sexual abuse treatment specialists in Colorado is that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men who live in this state were either molested or raped before the age of 18. Most of them by men or teenage boys they knew. By coaches, scout masters, priests, family friends, sons of family friends.

Evidence (2020-09-18): According to Rowling and other gender-critical activists, women’s safety is highly dependent on dominant gender norms – norms that prevent people with penises, for example, from entering women’s changing rooms and toilets. Transgender people turn those gender norms on their head – and that’s dangerous, according to gender-critical feminists. If anyone can call themselves a woman and just walk into a women’s changing room, penis and all, then it’s only a question of time before rapists start abusing this to assault women. [...] Women’s safety in our society is precarious. 34% of all Dutch women have been victims of sexual violence. In the UK, where JKR is from, one in four women will experience domestic violence, and one in five will experience sexual assault. In fact, Rowling herself is an example of this: in her essay, she writes openly about the abuse she experienced in a previous relationship. But still, are we really going to solve this problem by denying trans women access to women’s toilets? Let’s face it: a symbol on a toilet door is hardly going to stop a rapist with malicious intentions. So, if women’s safety depends entirely on the integrity of sex-segregated spaces, then there’s something seriously wrong with how we’re addressing the problem of sexual violence against women.
