According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime – an estimated 1.3 million women each year. You know someone, probably several people, affected by domestic violence. You may not be aware of it, but you do. Victims often experience shame, blame and guilt – and so they stay silent.
