accounts for almost $1.8 billion each year.
Intimate partner violence victims lose nearly 8.0 million days of
paid work each year - the equivalent of more than 32,000 full-time
jobs and nearly 5.6 million days of household productivity.
The health-related costs of rape, physical assault, stalking, and
homicide by intimate partners exceed $5.8 billion each year.

financial performance would benefit from addressing the issue of
domestic violence among its employees.
78% of Human Resource Directors identify domestic violence as a
substantial employee problem.
60% of senior executives said that domestic violence has a harmful
effect on their company’s productivity.
Of the approximately 1.7 million incidents of workplace violence
that occur in the US every year, 18,700 are committed by an intimate
partner: a current or former spouse, lover, partner, or boyfriend/girlfriend.
To Individuals/ Employees:
85-95% of all domestic violence victims are female.
