More than 1 million women seek medical assistance for injuries caused by battering each year. Only 8% of women discussed being abused with their physicians, while another 38% discussed the incidents with someone other than their physician, leaving more than 50% of the women who have been physically abused discussing it with no one. Abused women are more likely to seek help from their physicians than from lawyers or police officers. Battering is the major cause injury to women, resulting in more injuries to women than auto accidents, muggings and rapes combined.
