1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime in the U.S.

Every 28 Minutes
a woman is beaten by an intimate partner in Kansas

Every 2 weeks
a woman is killed by an intimate partner in Kansas.

The costs of domestic violence for direct medical and mental health services exceeds $4.1 billion per year in the U.S.

More babies are now born with birth defects as a result of the mother being battered during pregnancy than from the combination of all diseases and illnesses for which we now immunize pregnant women.
