Domestic violence (DV) is also referred to as intimate partner violence (IPV). It has many faces and effects people of every age, race, culture, educational level and socio-economic background. It occurs in all types of relationships.

It is estimated that nearly 1 in 4 women are beaten or raped by an intimate partner in their adulthood (NNEDV), yet this violence is often hidden from public view. It is one of the leading health concerns for women in the United States, it is also the leading cause of femicide and the number one cause of injuries and death in the workplace. It is also the leading cause of miscarriage, birth defects, and infant mortality.
