Domestic violence in Alaska

A study just released reveals that, in 2003, 9 females were killed by males in Alaska, ranking the state at number 1 for the highest homicide rate among females murdered by males.

And here's a frightening statistic, over 86 percent of female victims were murdered by someone they knew.

AWAIC works with domestically abused women on a daily basis. They say it will take the whole community to make changes and stop this high rate of female abuse.
