In the United States, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 2 trans individuals will be subjected to intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV is not only traumatic; it is also incredibly expensive. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that IPV costs a cisgender female survivor an average of $104,000 across her lifetime.
