Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Women experiencing domestic violence sometimes turn to alcohol or drugs as a response to and an escape from the violence. These are some statistics from recent research:
- Women experiencing domestic violence are up to 15 times more likely to misuse alcohol than women generally.
- Women who report domestic violence are up to nine times more likely to misuse drugs (including prescription drugs) than other women.
- 42% of Asian women who seek treatment for alcohol misuse are experiencing domestic violence.
- Between 50% and 90% of women attending substance misuse services may have experienced abuse, either in childhood or adult life, or both.
