Thank you.

Then I have a question for Karen as well. The rates of spousal violence against women have declined, and that's wonderful news, but we've gone from 12% to 8% to 7% for women, and we've gone from 7% to 6% for males.

Then we go to the next chart, which talks about the serious violence against women and against male victims as well, and the male victims experience a lot less serious violence compared with the female victims. What makes up the figure 6 on the previous slide? What is the nature of the violence against the men?
