Women’s crisis center in northern Kentucky

INTRODUCTION

Violence against women – particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence – is a major public health problem and a violation of women's human rights. Most of this violence is intimate partner violence. Worldwide, almost one third of women who have been in a relationship report that they have experienced some form of physical and sexual violence by their intimate partner in their lifetime. Intimate partner (physical, sexual and emotional) and sexual violence cause serious short- and long-term physical, mental, sexual and reproductive health problems for women. They also affect their children, and lead to high social and economic costs for women, their families and societies. In modern society many people believe that violence against women is the cause- women themselves. Women are afraid to ask for help. Women are afraid that their complaints and requests for help will be ignored. Women are afraid of being condemned and marginalized by society. Afraid of losing family, friends.
