STATISTICS
Domestic violence affects women of all races and ethnicities, and important similarities emerge when economic factors are controlled and races are studied within the same financial bracket. However, several studies show that overall, women of color experience domestic violence in greater proportions:
- An estimated 29.1% of African American females are victimized by IPV in their lifetime. 18.8% of African American women reported rape in their lifetime.[1]
- Over 23% Hispanic/Latino females are victimized by IPV in their lifetime. 7.9% of Latinas will be raped by a spouse, boyfriend or ex-boyfriend during their lifetime.[2]
- Native American/Alaskan Indian women and men report higher rates of IPV than do those from other minority backgrounds. 34.1% of Native American/Alaskan Indian women reported rape in their lifetime.[3]
- 41-60% of Asian Pacific Islander respondents reported IPV during their lifetimes.[4]
