• Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten. 
• At least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. 
• Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women—more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. 
• Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually. 
• Nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship, said that their boyfriend had threatened violence. 
• Everyday in the US, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. 
• Based on reports from 10 countries, between 55 percent and 95 percent of women who had been physically abused by their partners had never contacted non-governmental organizations, shelters, or the police for help. 
• Men who as children witnessed their parents’ domestic violence were twice as likely to abuse their own wives than sons of nonviolent parents.

These works are intended to serve as visual expressions of personal stories of abuse and escape by survivors of domestic violence.
