domestic violence figures all bad :-(

University of Auckland research shows that a third of women have been assaulted by their partner over the course of their lives. This just makes me so sad.

And it's not just an issue for women - men need to start taking responsibility for their role in domestic violence. Yes sometimes women hit men too, and that needs to be addressed as well, but I am just so sick of issues like this getting swept under the carpet or being considered something that only affects chicks. ARGH!
