How Intimate Partner Violence Impacts the Workplace

  • The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $8.3 billion per year.
  • Between 21-60% of victims of intimate partner violence lose their jobs due to reasons stemming from the abuse.
  • Between 2003 and 2008, 142 women were murdered in their workplace by their abuser, 78% of women killed in the workplace during this timeframe.
  • After leaving and abuser, survivors are 20 times more likely to be the victims of workplace violence.

Learning the signs of IPV and how to support colleagues is a crucial step in ending intimate partner violence.
