violence isnt always apparent. If it were, we probably wouldnt hear
horrifying stats like these:horrifying 25 percent of American women
have been the victim of domestic violence. One in three women on
the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. About 2.3
million Americans are raped or physically assaulted every year by
an intimate partner.

Hironimus, Coordinator North America/Caribbean Region This
hard-hitting Norwegian public service announcement says loud and
clear that its never, ever possible to know whats going on behind
the scenes in a relationship. One of the most frightening aspects
of domestic violence is that only a small percent of abuse
incidents ever get reported. Its time for the world to wake up to
the truth about the dark secret that so many people feel they have
to hide.
