One in three women, and one in five men will experience physical violence by an intimate partner at some point in their lives. Violence in intimate relationships occurs across every socioeconomic group. It happens in cities, suburbs and rural areas. It affects all genders, sexual identities and ages, regardless of culture, race, religion and abilities.
