The Reality of Intimate Partner Violence
1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men in the U.S. experience severe intimate partner violence.
On average, 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner.
More than 3 million children witness domestic violence in their homes each year.
Homicide is a leading cause of death for Black women ages 15–35, most often at the hands of an intimate partner.
Domestic violence is not just a personal issue—it’s a public health crisis. Together, we can change the story.

What People Are Saying
Shaquera’s Story
Shaquera’s Story Domestic Violence Consulting and Coaching, Inc. was born out of lived experience, resilience, and an unshakable commitment to justice.
Our founder, Shaquera Robinson, is a mother, public health leader, educator, and survivor who turned her pain into purpose. After surviving years of abuse and navigating the criminal legal system, Shaquera saw firsthand how survivors—especially women of color—were left unheard and unsupported. Instead of staying silent, she chose to rise—using her story to educate, advocate, and empower others.
Today, Shaquera’s Story is a movement where survivors are supported, families are protected, and organizations are equipped with evidence-based solutions to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV), gender-based violence, and teen dating violence (TDV), creating opportunity for lasting change.
