FBI statistics indicate that every 12 seconds a woman is beaten by her lover, boyfriend or husband. Domestic violence invades the lives of women, men, children, impacting families, friends, co-workers and communities. These behaviors may be in the form of physical, sexual, economic, psychological or emotional abuse. These behaviors may occur regardless of the income-level, education, age, geography, race or nationality. The majority of victims are women but there are some men. The statistics on men are usually skewed due to the fact some men will not report the abuse.
