Female-Related Violence

* Battering is the greatest single cause of injury among U.S. women, accounting for more emergency room visits that auto accidents, muggings and rape combined.

* In India, there were 11,259 dowry-related murders in the last three years, according to government statistics.

* A recent national survey found that each hour, 76 American women over the age of 18 are raped--683,000 rapes per year. One in five American women is likely to be a rape victim in her lifetime.
