"The report indicates almost half of the reports had a spouse accused of the violence. Women were also almost twice as likely to be a victim of domestic abuse in 2010"

"The data collected show the nature and consequences of spousal violence were more severe for women than for men.
Female victims of spousal violence were more than twice as likely to be injured as male victims.
Women were also three times more likely to fear for their life, and twice as likely to be the targets of more than 10 violent episodes.
And, overall, female victims were twice as likely as male victims to be stalked by a previous spouse. Eleven per cent of female victims and six per cent of male victims reported being stalked by a previous boyfriend or girlfriend"

Obviously domestic abuse in general is a major issue for both genders however to suggest that it is equal, including the physical ramifications of the abuse would be incorrect.
