Many feel that their daughter, mother, or friend would never be a victim of dating/domestic violence, but the statistics prove otherwise:

- Young Women between the ages of 18-24 are most commonly abused by an intimate partner.
-  1in 3 women have experienced physical violence by an intimate partner.
- 1 in 5 woman have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner. 
- The presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation increases the risk of homicide by 500%.
- Intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crime. - NCADV

It's way past time to change this pervasive, destructive, and life taking social norm.
