NATIONAL STATISTICS
Domestic violence affects people of all genders, backgrounds, and identities. Domestic violence often goes unreported due to fear, shame, or lack of access to support.
-
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men in the U.S. have experienced severe physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking by an intimate partner. (CDC, 2023)
-
1 in 3 adolescent females and 1 in 5 adolescent males report experiencing physical, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner. (National Council on Crime and Delinquency; Journal of Adolescent Health)
While national data most often reflects binary gender categories, domestic and dating violence also impacts transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals, who are often underrepresented in research and underserved in services.
