In particular, from the key findings sections of the report from the National Violence Against Women Survey:
"Women experience more intimate partner
violence than do men: 22.1 percent of sur-
veyed women, compared with 7.4 percent
of surveyed men, reported they were physi-
cally assaulted by a current or former
spouse, cohabiting partner, boyfriend or
girlfriend, or date in their lifetime; 1.3 per-
cent of surveyed women and 0.9 percent of
surveyed men reported experiencing such
violence in the previous 12 months. Ap-
proximately 1.3 million women and 835,000
men are physically assaulted by an intimate
partner annually in the United States." [1]
