Family Violence Remains In The Shadows

Family Violence Remains In The Shadows.
Violence committed against women by men is extremely under-reported in many countries, a weighty new study finds. Researchers analyzed material from more than 93600 women in 24 countries who survived sexual or physical violence, often called gender-based violence. Only 7 percent of the survivors reported the incidents to legal, medical or venereal frame services, and only 37 percent informed family, friends or neighbors.
