Statistics are staggering. In the United States, on average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by their intimate partners.1 On an annual basis, the total number of affected individuals is more than 10 million individuals.2 One in three women and one in four men have been in situations in which an intimate partner has become physically violent.3 One in five women and one in seven men have been the victim of severe physical violence inflicted upon them by an intimate partner.4 Physical abuse perpetuated by an intimate partner constitutes 15 percent of all violent crimes.5
