Around the globe, approximately one in four women has been physically abused by an intimate male partner. In the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Justice, a woman is battered every 15 seconds, and approximately 1.3 million women are physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually.

Abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, and psychological—and it happens to people regardless of race, age, gender. Or religion.
