It is quite sad that those are not in there since the answer usually surprise people. The chance (risk?) of a woman being physically abused by a spouse is identical to a man. In study after study, both men and women report similar rate of physical abuse from partners. Domestic violence rate is also independent or household occupants, meaning that it doesn't matter if its woman-woman, man-man or man-woman. Were there is a difference is in rate of domestic abuse that ends up in hospital or have a fatal outcome.
Chance of being sexually assaulted is also interesting when shown next to the chance of being assaulted. For some reason those numbers tend to be almost a mirror match.
