According to WOMENSAID.ORG.UK, “…an estimated 1.2 million women experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March…..On average two women are killed by their partner or ex-partner every week in England and Wales..…Domestic abuse related crime is 10% of total crime, an increase of 2% since the previous year…..On average the police receive over 100 calls relating to domestic abuse every hour.”
