A note from the owner... The greatest single common denominator about those victimized by domestic violence is the fact that the overwhelming majority are women. According to the two most comprehensive national studies by the U.S. Department of Justice on intimate partner violence, between 64 percent and 85 percent of those victimized by domestic violence are women. Men are responsible for the vast majority of these attacks. And women experience more chronic and injurious physical assaults by intimate partners than do men. Thats why feminine pronouns are used in most when referring to those victimized by domestic violence and masculine pronouns are used when referring to perpetrators of domestic violence. This should not detract from the understanding that, in some instances, the perpetrator might be female while the victim is male or of the same gender.
