Statistics

Many people think that victims of domestic abuse could leave if they really ​want to, and do not step in to help. Most victims do try to leave, on the average of 6 or 7 times before their final departure. ​
Almost 3/4 of partner assaults occur while the victim​ and assailant are divorced or separated.
