1. Percent of abused women in shelters who are there because of abuse by a current or former spouse or common-law partner. Percentages are based on totals excluding counts where the relationship to the abuser is unknown. 2. Rates are based upon July 1 population estimates of women aged 15 years and over who are married, living in common-law relationships, or are separated or divorced. Different methodologies for the calculation of rates may have been used in the past; thus, comparisons to previous reports should be made with caution.
