| Millions of women are physically, sexually, or emotionally abused every year by someone they know and love -- their husband or partner. Any woman may be abused. It happens to women of all ages, races, religions, all income and educational levels, and all sexual orientations.
Abuse is never acceptable. Women don't "ask for it" and it's not caused by alcohol, drugs, financial pressure, depression or jealousy. Abuse can begin - or get worse - when you are pregnant.
