1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men are affected by domestic violence in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
In 2020, 96% of women, according to thehotline.org, reported emotional and verbal abuse, compared to 64.1% reporting some type of physical abuse. It is MORE than a black eye.
Women return to their abuser 7-12 times before they finally leave.
It takes 5-7 positives to make up for 1 negative.
By the time you finish reading this page, 14 women will have called the national hotline, asking for help.
Domestic violence statistics are not for the faint of heart.
