Page "Radical feminism" Paragraph 34

Women experience significantly more partner violence than men do: 25 percent of surveyed women, compared with 8 percent of surveyed men, said they were raped and / or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date in their lifetime ; 1. 5 percent of surveyed women and 0. 9 percent of surveyed men said they were raped and / or physically assaulted by such a perpetrator in the previous 12 months.

According to survey estimates, approximately 1. 5 million women and 834, 700 men are raped and / or physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually in the United States.

Because women are also more likely to be injured by intimate partners, research aimed at understanding and preventing partner violence against women should be stressed.
