Article here. Excerpt:

'MYTH: Domestic violence is not a serious problem in the U.S. or in Georgia.

FACT: Battering is the single largest cause of injury to women in the United States. It tops mugging, automobile accidents and rape, combined (NCADV 2003). In 2009, Georgia was rated the 10th highest state in the nation for the rate at which men kill women. In 2010, Georgia residents mourned at least 130 domestic violence related deaths.'
