    According to this there are 417,000 instances of physical intimate partner violence every year. With a population of around 4 million, and half women, this means that up to 40% (bad stat alert!) could be affected every year.

    But one of the important characteristics of intimate partner violence is that it repeats. A lot. So 417,000 instances could easily be 4% of women in a given year, rather than 40%.
