Notes:	"Key findings * Family violence occurs at higher rates in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities than in the general population. * Indigenous Australians have increased risk factors for family violence, such as social stressors like poor housing and overcrowding, financial difficulties and unemployment. * One in 7 (14%) Indigenous women had experienced physical violence in the previous year. Of these, about 1 in 4 (28%) reported their most recent incident was perpetrated by a cohabiting partner. * Indigenous women were 32 times, and Indigenous men 23 times, as likely to be hospitalised due to family violence as non-Indigenous women and men. * Two in 5 Indigenous homicide victims (41%, or 32 victims) were killed by a current or previous partner, compared with 1 in 5 non-Indigenous homicide victims (22%, or 94 victims) during 2012–14. * Indigenous children were about 7 times as likely as non-Indigenous children to be the subject of substantiated child abuse or neglect" C AIHW 2018 ; Creative Commons
