According to a Sunday Mail report in October 2011, if the statistics are anything to go by, violence in the home in Australia is of grave concern.

The Sunday Mail is a major newspaper in Australia even though I can’t see it located in the Top 100 Paid For Newspapers List, well according to Wikipedia.

• More women are killed by partners in Queensland than in any other state
• Sexual violence affects almost 1 in 5 Australian women
• 1 in 3 women who experience physical violence are also raped by violent partners
• almost 1 in 4 children in Australia witness violence against their mother or step mother
