The common attitude is that violence against women is perpetrated by men only. There is incidence and prevalence data to the contrary. Many women who are victims of violence are victims of other women. There is spousal abuse as well as child abuse in particular violence against daughters by mothers. There is also violence against women by women who are unknown to the victim. There is environmental violence as well as violence against refugees which is seldom recognized.
