A friend of mine, who did her PhD. thesis on violence against
women -- and what they can do about it -- suggested that the
real statistics may be much greater that what has been reported.

Including all forms of violence against women: rapes, assaults
within a relationship, and assaults in the family (child-abuse),
40% of all women in the United States will encounter some
form of violence in their lifetimes.
