are we looking into if islam is behind all this united states bred violence?

The number of American troops killed in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2012 was 6,488. The number of American women who were murdered by current or ex male partners during that time was 11,766. That’s nearly double the amount of casualties lost during war.

Women are much more likely to be victims of intimate partner violence with 85 percent of domestic abuse victims being women and 15 percent men. Too many women have been held captive by domestic violence — whether through physical abuse, financial abuse, emotional abuse or a combination of all three.

We are inundated with news stories about domestic violence , from athletes beating their significant others in public elevators or in their own homes to celebrities publicly abusing their girlfriends. This problem is not one that will go away quickly or quietly.

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to an end, discussions about intimate partner abuse and its horrible repercussions should not. In an attempt to illustrate the gravity of abuse all genders (but largely women) face in the U.S., we rounded up 30 statistics on domestic violence.

Domestic violence is not a singular incident, it’s an insidious problem deeply rooted in our culture — and these numbers prove that.

3 = The number of women murdered every day by a current or former male partner in the U.S.

38,028,000 =The number of women who have experienced physical intimate partner violence in their lifetimes.

4,774,000 =The number of women in the U.S. who experience physical violence by an intimate partner every year.

Those numbers make the small amount of gun homicides pale by comparison. So why is there so much media coverage when someone gets shot, yet nothing about this?

Because abuse against women isn't interesting in our male dominated hyper violent society where things have to be flashy and cool. Guns are sexy and interesting. Domestic violence and rape is just so so complicated and ewwy... and it's probably the victim's fault anyway or something. We only talk about abuse against women when it's something that makes the public aghast, like women being kidnapped and chained up for years, because it's great subject matter to sensationalize.
