I was just really agreeing with the situation that partner violence is definitely experienced to a great degree by women, although not exclusively, and we see then what the juxtaposition of a disease is on that vulnerable population. We see higher rates of HIV, sexually transmitted infections and other disease states, so it multiplies the damage and the problems.
We have a great deal of difficulty in quantifying partner violence because of the very nature of it, and women tend not to come forward, but more research into how to understand it better and obviously how to prevent it is critical.
