Homicide, frequently linked to intimate partner violence, is a known leading cause of death in pregnant women (Harvard, 2022).

In FY25, 46 women arrived at the Battered Women and Children's Shelter pregnant. During the first six months of FY26, the number was already 31.

Pregnancy is a time of greater autonomy and self-awareness for women. Because domestic violence is about power and control, a pregnancy can challenge that for a person who is using abuse.
