CDC data puts the lifetime price tag of intimate partner violence at $3.6 trillion for women, alongside $8.3 billion a year in medical and victim costs and $1.5 billion in lost productivity. The same burden echoes far beyond injuries since 42% of women miss work for more than 3 days, while criminal justice costs top $5 billion annually. What stands out is how prevention and policy investments can shift those outcomes, from healthcare screening to offender intervention, even as NISVS estimates show millions still experience contact sexual violence, physical violence, and stalking.
