The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that globally about 1 in 3 (30%) of women worldwide have been subjected to intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Worldwide, almost one third (27%) of women aged 15-49 years who have been in a relationship report that they have been subjected to some form of physical and/or sexual violence by their intimate partner. (Source: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/violence-against-women) Though most statistics relate to female victims affected by intimate partner violence, men, teens, and those in the LGBTQ+ community are also victims. In fact, anyone can be a victim of intimate partner violence.

The PURPLE RIBBON tells everyone that you stand against domestic violence and that you will speak out to stop violence against women and their children.

Please share a purple ribbon here to offer your support to those who have been affected by intimate partner violence.

Hi everyone,

during the 1990s, I divorced my first wife because of infidelity and domestic violence.

As a man, it was difficult for me to come to terms with being a male victim of domestic violence.

This problem is not gender-specific: both men and women can be equally dangerous.

To anyone - man or woman - who is/has experience this nightmare, you have my empathy and support.

You will get through this.

You are not alone.

Stay strong and never give up!domestic-violence-awareness-month-october-1_1634575708.jpg

I love how you mentioned that males can experience this too because it is so true that this is not a gender specific issue.

Thank you.

My recovery process was long, but with research and patience, I moved on, rebuilt my life, and now use what I experienced in my work and to help others.

The more we work together to shine a light on the problem - the more people we help.

While I lived with it for 6 years (too long) I want to pause to remember those who've died from it...

I survived being beaten with an axe and choked by my husband. I support others who want to get out and also support ending the violence.
