We're twice as likely for Intimate Partner Violence

---

New Zealand Research 

There is no specific research about the domestic violence, sexual violence and targeting autisic and AuDHD woman experience but the Royal Commission exposed the structural violence and system complicity neurodiverse females experience.  

According to Whaikaha - Ministry for Disabled People  where we're labelled disabled woman:

• 40% of disabled women experienced physical intimate partner violence over their lifetimes, compared with 25% of non-disabled women.
•  disabled women were more likely to report experiences of sexual intimate partner violence (range = 13.5%-17.1%) than disabled men (range = 4.0%-21.2%).

If you've worked in New Zealand social services your probably already aware there is something wrong with the way data is collected in New Zealand especially around disabilities.
