  • Violence against women – particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence – is a major public health problem and a violation of women's human rights.
  • Global estimates are 1 in 3 (30%) of women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.
  • Violence can negatively affect women’s physical, mental, sexual, and reproductive health, and may increase the risk of acquiring HIV in some settings.
  • Violence against women is preventable. The health sector has an important role to play to provide comprehensive health care to women subjected to violence.

  • Intimate-partner violence – is behavior by an intimate partner or ex-partner that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm. 
  • Sexual violence is unwanted sexual behavior that is imposed on someone including acts of abusive sexual contact, sexual harassment, verbal abuse, and threats.
  • Human trafficking is a crime including physical and sexual abuse, blackmail, and emotional manipulation.
  • Online or technology violence includes Cyberbullying (intimidating or threatening messages, Non-consensual sexting (sending explicit messages or photos) and Doxing (public release of private or identifying information).
  • Stalking is the ongoing pursuit of a specific person without their consent.
  • Awareness - an alert person is more difficult to attack than a distracted person.
  • Confidence - predators judge vulnerability by observing body language and how people walk. Confidence can deter an attacker.
  • Recognize Lures - Lures are used to lower your guard and exploit our virtues: our desire to help others. Lures are an excuse to be allowed into your personal space.
  • Trust Your Instincts - Listen to your gut feeling about a person, place, or situation.
  • Use Simple Weapons – most attackers do not expect their prey to fight back. Use the hard, pointy parts of your body to strike soft parts of your attacker such as your elbow to the face, knee to the groin, and fingers to the eyes.
  • Deny Attack Opportunities - Attackers don't look for fights, they look for opportunities. Stay away from someone paying too much attention to you.

The U.S. population age 55 and over grew nearly five times faster than  the total population according to the 2020 Census.

The older population reached 55.8 million or 16.8% of the population of the United States in 2020.

The rapid growth was largely driven by aging baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964 who began turning 65 in 2011.

55% of the population are women.

Violence against older people (including women) is on the rise
