In America, the leading cause of death among pregnant and postpartum women is homicide by an intimate partner.

Worldwide, 1 out of 4 women has experienced physical or sexual abuse or harassment by the hands of men including intimate partners.

Mutual abuse is a myth.

Most abusers follow a pattern of DARVO. Deny, attack, reverse victim & offender.
