Some Dating Violence Statistics:

  • Almost 4 of every 10 females and 1 of every 3 males report being violent at some point in their dating careers.

  • More than 1/4 of victims and 3 of 10 offenders see violence in a dating relationship as a sign of love.

  • The average age of the first violent relationship experience is 15 years.

  • In Canada, 1 woman every 6 minutes is sexually assaulted.

  • 30% of female murder victims are killed by their intimate partners.


Are you a survivor of dating violence?

Has your dating partner ever assaulted you:

        •  physically
        •  sexually
        •  emotionally


Have you been too afraid to speak up about the abuse you've suffered through at the hands of your partner?

Have you been told that the abuse you suffered through "was your fault?" It WASN'T your fault!

If you've answered 'yes' to any of the above questions, this is the place to tell your story. Telling what happened to you could help someone else in the same situation, or even better, it could stop someone from getting into the same situation!

Be among those who have courageously shared their dating violence stories. The process is easy and offers notification options when someone comments on your story.
