Abused persons and perpetrators could be of either sex, and couples could be heterosexual or homosexual[Snugg from the Archives of Family Medicine(http://www.therapistfinder.net/Domestic-Violence/)]

Every year in the United States, 1,000
to 1,600 women die at the hands of
their male partners, often after a
long, escalating pattern of battering.1
The estimated number of deaths due to
intimate partner violence does not include
those women who kill themselves to exit
violent relationships, or who die homeless
on the streets avoiding batterers.
