Amercian Indian Women and Domestic Violence
Sep 29, 2011
Crime victimization rates in the American Indian community are significantly higher than in the general U.S. population. As a result of these high rates of violence, American Indian women are at high risk of homicide, including domestic violence.
Three-fourths of American Indian women have experienced some type of sexual assault in their lives.
Abusive relationships are based on the mistaken belief that one person has the right to control another.
When the non violent methods of control fail to work, the person in power moves on to actual physical and sexual violence. The relationship is based on the exercise of power to gain and maintain control.
47% of women will be raped in their lifetime.
50% of women will be battered by their spouse/partner.
40% of women in prison for felonies are there because they killed an abusive partner/spouse.
