Relationship abuse occurs in epidemic proportions. Here are some recent statistics:
*
One in three women experiences at least one physical assault by a partner during adulthood.
*
Young women ages 19-29 reported more violence by intimates than any other age group.
*
In Oregon, ninety percent of domestic violence victims are white. Forty-seven percent have at least some college education. Forty-three percent have household incomes of at least $35,000.
Although some relationships are mutually abusive, more frequently there is an imbalance of power in abusive relationships. While abuse may take the form of physical violence, abuse can also occur on an emotional and verbal level.
