Statistics
The need for services and supports for domestic and dating violence survivors continues to grow throughout the country. One in three women experiences violence by an intimate partner in her lifetime (Department of Justice, 2014), with one in four experiencing severe physical violence (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012).
In Virginia, domestic violence is a serious problem. Virginia is one of the ten states in the United States with the highest rates of females murdered by males ; 31.3% of Virginia women experience intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner rape and/or intimate partner stalking in their lifetimes.
