![How many women are emotionally abused?
More women experience emotional abuse than physical violence. 35% of all women who are or have
been in married or common-law relationships have experienced emotional abuse. In comparison,
29% of women have been physically assaulted by their male partners.
Is emotional abuse a safety risk to women?
The presence of emotional abuse is the largest risk factor and greatest predictor of physical violence,
especially where a woman is called names to put her down or make her feel bad. Emotionally
abusive partners also commit murder or murder-suicide. Women are at most risk of being killed
when they leave their partners. Women themselves can also be suicidal as a result of emotional
abuse.
How can emotional abuse be as hurtful or harmful as physical abuse?
Most women indicate that emotional abuse effects them as much, if not more than, physical
violence. They report that emotional abuse is responsible for long-term problems with health, self-
esteem, depression, and anxiety. In one study 72% of women reported that being ridiculed by their
abusive partners had the greatest impact on them, followed by threats of abuse, jealousy, and
restriction [or isolation]. It was also found that the impact increased with the frequency of the
emotional abuse. However, like women who are physically and sexually abused, emotionally abused
women demonstrate incredible resilience and inner strength as they successfully balance the
everyday demands of life such as children, school and work.
