The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is out with a new report on intimate partner and sexual violence. Among the findings:
➢ More than 1 in 3 women and more than 1 in 4 men in the U.S. have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner
➢ Nearly half of all women and men in the U.S. have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner
➢ Men and women who experienced physical violence by an intimate partner were more likely to report a variety of health problems – both physical and mental
➢ Two-thirds of female stalking victims were stalked by a current or former intimate partner
➢ More than 9 percent of U.S. women have been raped by an intimate partner
The survey findings are from 2010. Read the full report here: http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/nisvs/
