Family violence in Canada – A statistical profile

http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/85-224-...estdm2-eng.htm

Women continue to be more likely than men to be victims of spousal homicide. In 2009, the rate of spousal homicide against women was about three times higher than that for men.

Similar to previous GSS victimization cycles, females continued to report more serious forms of spousal violence than males. For example, in 2009, females who reported spousal violence were about three times more likely than males (34% versus 10% 3 ) to report that they had been sexually assaulted, beaten, choked or threatened with a gun or a knife by their partner or ex-partner in the previous 5 years (Chart 1.2).

Females were three times more likely than males to state that they had obtained a restraining order against their spouse or ex-spouse (15% versus 5%).
