A new W.H.O. study has confirmed (as reported in the New York Times) that violence against women by their intimates is a common, worldwide phenomenon. W.H.O. conducted interviews in 10 countries at 15 different sites to ascertain the rates of violence against women. From the NY times article:
"...the World Health Organization found that rates of partner violence ranged from a low of 15 percent in Yokohama, Japan, to a high of 71 percent in rural Ethiopia."
How sad.
