I could quote all 10,000 words I highlighted in this book but you should just go read it. This should be required reading.
And it’s not just stats- she’s given some really good action items to do after reading, so we can all be a part of the solution while understanding the complexities of Domestic violence and the different pieces that go into lowering the numbers of occurrences in the US & the world.
This book is just a starting off point & the author recognizes this. She mentions domestic violence within the LGBTQI community & how it’s much worse than straight/cis folks. But it doesn’t go much further than that recognition.
Understand that this is a very basic breakdown, which is necessary because many of us don’t understand the nuances of domestic violence. But I spent a lot of time contemplating how racism, homophobia, and transphobia, etc, are interwoven with the problem of sexism and domestic violence, while I was reading this.
Lots of strands to untangle.

Wonderful book for anyone who works with families or DV victims and abusers. Gives another look into what is normally studied about DV and a great perspective.
