Here are a few facts to m7ull over:-
[quote author=cods link=1593332989/15#15 date=1593351397]
The following basic statistics help demonstrate the prevalence and severity of violence against women:
On average at least one woman a week is killed by a partner or former partner in Australia.
27 this year - two at least killed by a female - sort out the difference between man v woman and 'family'
One in three Australian women has experienced physical violence since the age of 15.2
From whom? Girls in the playground? The young girl beaten by Blacks on a train in Malbadishu? Sort your real statistics out!
One in five Australian women has experienced sexual violence.
How many were in the EXTREMELY violent lesbian relationships?
One in four Australian women has experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner.
Man or woman? Get with it..... and at the same time how many men have experienced 'intimate partner' violence?
One in four Australian women has experienced emotional abuse by a current or former partner.
Man or woman - get with it... and how many MEN have endured the same emotional abuse from a woman? HELLO? Ever heard of a two way street? And this is NOT 'violence'.
Women are at least three times more likely than men to experience violence from an intimate partner.
Man or woman? Indigenous women are 45 times more likely to present at an emergency ward for treatment for injuries - from whom? Man or woman or just a general melee?
Women are five times more likely than men to require medical attention or hospitalisation as a result of intimate partner violence, and five times more likely to report fearing for their lives.
Indeed - from whom - man or woman? Ever figure that most men don't whine about small injuries? and 'fearing for their lives'? You serious - that's an excuse to be a skank!
Of those women who experience violence, more than half have children in their care.
Meaning what exactly? That men never have children in their care and men never experience violence from an intimate partner? HELLO! Parenting is a two way street.
Violence against women is not limited to the home or intimate relationships. Every year in Australia over 300,000 women experience violence - often sexual violence - from someone other than a partner.
OH - someone OTHER than a partner! Well - buggar me! WTF has that to do with relationship violence?
Eight out of ten women aged 18 to 24 were harassed on the street in the past year.
Meaning exactly what? Greg Pecc's someone whistled at a Muslim woman in a scarf?
WTF has this to do with relationship violence?
Young women (18-24 years) experience significantly higher rates of physical and sexual violence than women in older age groups.
From men or women? Young men are THE highest group in receiving violence from everyone! How many parents punish their near adult children for bad behaviour? HMMM? Sorry, love - but some 'cultures' expect parental control over children for life.... 24 ain't nothing.. if the daughter steps out of line - off with her head!!
There is growing evidence that women with disabilities are more likely to experience violence.
"growing evidence" - please explain? SHOW ME! There may be truth in this - but SHOW ME! what has this to do with 'relationship violence'?
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women experience both far higher rates and more severe forms of violence compared to other women.
For once an accurate descriptor...
Intimate partner violence contributes to more death, disability and illness in women aged 15 to 44 than any other preventable risk factor.
Again - from men or women and what exactly is an 'intimate partner'? And how many MEN are injured of killed in such situations?
Domestic or family violence against women is the single largest driver of homelessness for women, a common factor in child protection notifications and results in a police call-out on average once every two minutes across the country.
So the answer is to make men homeless instead - child protection notifications and police call-outs are equal and 98% of callouts result in no charge ....... 'DUH - 'child protection' means the child is not being looked after by BOTH.
Now stop slagging me and address the facts...
