Which demographic reports the highest rates of violence among women?

The highest rates of violence among women are reported among American Indian and Alaska Native women due to various intersecting factors, including historical trauma, socio-economic challenges, and systemic issues related to law enforcement and tribal jurisdiction. These communities face unique risks associated with cultural dislocation, poverty, and a lack of access to resources, resulting in elevated levels of violence, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and homicide. Moreover, the underreporting and inadequate response to violence within these communities exacerbate the issue. Therefore, the data highlights that American Indian and Alaska Native women experience violence at disproportionately high rates compared to women from other demographic groups. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for addressing the needs and challenges faced by these populations in the context of family violence.
