Here are some statistics for you taken from a recent Stats Canada report...

7% of women in canada have been the victims of spousal abusein the last 5 years. That translates into 653,000 women who have suffered abuse at the hands of a spouse over the last 5 years.

According to that same study, Alberta leads the rest of the country with 10% of the female population having been abused in the past or the present.

37% of female patients who are treated in the ER for violent injury have been injured by an intimate partner

Children in close to half a million households in Canada have seen or heard one parent being assaulted by the other
