Women's health at risk from violence at home
"Intimate partner violence is the most common form of violence against women, and has a major impact on women's health. The WHO multi-country study on women's health and domestic violence against women, released today, talked to 24 000 women in ten countries, and reveals the enormous toll physical or sexual abuse can have on a woman's health and the solutions for reducing violence."
