Domestic violence is a major social and
public health problem.

00:00:14.925 --> 00:00:18.900
One in three women worldwide
will be subjected to

physical or sexual violence
at some point in their lives.

00:00:22.860 --> 00:00:25.500
In most cases the perpetrator is
someone known to the woman,

00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:30.420
an intimate partner, ex-partner,
husband, boyfriend or a family member.
