The Reality
Many people assume that once a woman leaves a harmful relationship, the worst is behind her. But the truth is more complicated. Leaving marks a new season of risk and instability that is often unseen by the rest of the world.
This page seeks to offer data, context, and language that help explain what women face on the road to full restoration.
By the Numbers
- 1 in 3 women experience severe Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in their lifetime.
- 50-60% of women leaving harmful relationships experience post-separation harassment or abuse.
- 70% of single mothers report being one paycheck away from a financial crisis.
- Children in remarried households are 7x more likely to be abused in blended homes and 8x more likely to be neglected.
- The recovery time for a woman who has endured intimate partner violence (IPV) is twice as long as that of a separated woman with no history of harm.
- Women with a history of IPV are 2-3x more likely to re-enter abuse without intervention.
