evidence: Approximately one in four women in Northern Ireland are estimated to have been victims of domestic violence. According to an article posted on MKBLaw, "One in four women in Northern Ireland have at some point in their life been a victim of domestic violence". This can be linked to the domestic and sexual abuse support agency, Women’s Aid, who quoted the same figure. Other sources have indicated that that this figure may be closer to one in five women in Northern Ireland. The most recent survey from the Department of Justice, from the 2010/11 financial year, documents the proportion of females aged 16-64 who have experienced domestic abuse in their lifetime. The report, which surveyed 2,433 across Northern Ireland, shows that 19.3% of women had experienced domestic abuse from a partner, while 7.7% experienced abuse from a family member.
