Violence Prevention Statistics: 

With more than one out of three women and one out of four men being victims of intimate partner violence during their lives (Black et al, 2011), representatives from community based organizations created the first multi-media domestic violence campaign in 1996 to raise awareness about abuse in the Asian and Pacific Islander community in San Francisco.
