More depressing DV statistics.

As a pleasant addition to Samhita’s post yesterday on the obviously damaging physical and mental effects of domestic violence, a new study in Canada revealed that more than three-quarters of women living in shelters believe they are at risk of being killed by their partner.
The YWCA released the study yesterday, revealing that out of the 368 women that were interviewed, 77 percent said they feared that they were “serious danger of homicide� from an abusive partner.
Pretty upsetting, but also (sadly) not super surprising.
