Intersectionality with Brain Injury
As many as 20 million women each year could have a traumatic brain injury caused by domestic violence. The head, neck and face are common targets of intimate partner assaults. Women who are abused are more likely to have repeated injuries to the head. Brain injuries often go undetected and untreated because women are more likely to seek shelter than treatment. (St. Ivany, Bullock, et al. 2018)
