A partner or ex-partner and Domestic Violence kills more women than cancer (of a certain age bracket).
This is a shokcing statistic, what also surprises me is projects to address domestic abuse still sit largely in criminal justice arenas and there is little, if any preventative support work undertaken. (Meaning people wait until a serious crime has been committed before they can access projects such as IDAP)
Does this surprise you?
