Violence globally against women and girls is growing each year and is in epidemic proportions. It is rife in all cultures. Violence against women is exclusively perpetrated by men. We must ask ourselves the question - Why do many men choose violence to solve their problems? & What can humanity do to address this pattern?

*2006 in Australia:

In the last 12 months: One in 20 women (5.8%), or over 440,000 women, were the victims of violence in the last year. 4.7% (363,000 women) experienced physical violence (including physical assault, attempted assault, or the threat of assault). 1.6% (126,100 women) experienced sexual violence (including sexual assault, attempted assault, or the threat of assault).

Violence during a lifetime: Over two-thirds (39.9%) of Australian women report experiencing at least one incident of physical violence or sexual violence since the age of 15.

Since the age of 15, an estimated 3,065,800 women had experienced violence. 29% of all women (2,243,600 women) had experienced physical assault, and 17% (1,293,100) had experienced sexual assault.
