When asked if they had ever been raped by their husband or partner, 22% of women surveyed said they had. This was a rise of 13% since the survey was run in 1980. The number of women who said they had been raped was to 13%, up from 8% in 1980. 18% of women surveyed admitted to being physically abused by a partner, while 35% said they had experienced emotional abuse while in a relationship. The survey will be published in three parts in The Australian Women’s Weekly.
