About a third of women worldwide have been physically or sexually assaulted by a former or current partner, according to the first major review of violence against women.

I believe that statistic to be low. Way low. If you take into account all the third world countries where "might makes right" I would guess that the worldwide average is more like 2/3 or 3/4. Maybe even higher.

First Major Review Of Violence Against Women: One Third Of All Women Have Been Abused By A Partner

LONDON (AP)

— About a third of women worldwide have been physically or sexually assaulted by a former or current partner, according to the first major review of violence against women.

In a series of papers released on Thursday by the World Health Organization and others,

experts estimated nearly 40 percent of women killed worldwide were slain by an intimate partner and that being assaulted by a partner was the most common kind of violence experienced by women.

“Violence against women is a global health problem of epidemic proportions,” WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan said in a statement.
