Answer: Victimization rates vary among several different groups of women. African American women experience intimate partner violence at a slightly higher rate compared to white females. American Indian and Alaska native women were significantly more likely than white women to report they had been sexually assaulted or stalked. It is estimated that 1/5 the Asian or Pacific Islander women have been victims in their lifetime. Caucasian women have reported a decrease in intimate partner violence since 1993. More than 1/3 of white non-Hispanic women still report being a victim of intimate partner violence.
