  • An estimated 1 in 6 women (1.6 million) aged 18 years and over have experienced violence by a partner since the age of 15.
  • Young women (18 – 24 years) experience significantly higher rates of physical and sexual violence than women in older age groups.
  • Approximately 1 in 4 women (23% or 2.2 million) have experienced violence by an intimate partner since the age of 15.
