Shocking statistics have revealed that 19000 women, aged between 15 and 88, are forced out of their own homes each year, cos their partners are physically abusive towards them.

More than half the women had to flee with their children, and many had a disability.

Appalling :mad:

It's especially appalling when you also consider the statistic that women who escape from abusive partners are more likely to be killed by their ex-partner than women who stay with their abusive partner. People who suffer domestic abuse are already being failed, and with services that help them being cut, it's quite depressing to hear that so many people will be affected.

I am sure the amount would be even higher if statistics from Lesbian discrimination were included.
