Thank you for the statistics. I was surprised that people here weren't taking Domestic Abuse seriously. It's a global problem. The stats you provided show the seriousness and hopefully some of the readers will take heed.
A "GLOBAL" problem? It's a global problem in that there are way too many lies being promoted and promulgated about "domestic violence". That's "global problem" #1.
"Global Problem #2" is Domestic violence on the rise among American Muslims
Study after study, generally not given any attention by the MSM shows that batterers of women are generally the one and same batterers of men. So, be there one abusive person out there battering twenty people -- there go your stats on abuse.
Furthermore, "rape" is on the statistical decline in the US and has been since onset of decline in very late 90s, making a remarkable decline since year 2000.
I would suggest you do an article search in FR using key words "domestic violence". Very revealing in that it is not a "global problem" as you suggest, is and continues to be addressed not ONLY in the US but around the world.
No one is ignoring this problem.
Feminists pushing this issue as a "global problem" are unappeasable. Especially since their use of "domestic violence" as a pet funding issue had been morphed during Clinton years to include funding for abortion, internationally, and was cut by the Bush Admin.
The feminists are utterly unappeasable. Whenever the domestic violence stats decline, the feminists grow restive and request yet another study like this thread's topic be done.
