Domestic and family violence’s impact: Of people who had hospital stays because of DFV, 68% were female and 32% male. Females were more likely to have multiple hospital stays. Most females were hospitalised by partners, but most males hospitalised by *other family members*. 1/4
Of females in hospital because of DV, for 75% this was due to an intimate partner. But for males, only 29% was due to an intimate partner, and 71% due to another family member or parent. See the AIHW report, p. 39. aihw.gov.au/reports/domest… @aihw 2/4
Among people put into hospital by their partner’s domestic violence, 85% are women. Of all people hospitalised due to domestic violence by an intimate partner (14,958 females and 2,744 males), women were 85% of victims (about 5 in 6) and men were 15% of victims (about 1 in 6) 3/4
This matches other studies finding significant contrasts in women’s and men’s experiences of victimisation, as e.g. this review of studies over 2002-2013 finds. Women are more highly victimised, injured, and fearful than men. Review article in full: xyonline.net/sites/xyonline… 4/4
