Emotional (86.0%), verbal (81.9%), and economic (69.9%) abuse predominated, while 57.9% reported physical violence and 29.1% sexual violence. Alcohol use among perpetrators was reported in 45.8%. Among survivors, 95.7% reported emotional distress, 50.5% sustained physical injuries, and 11.7% experienced reproductive health consequences. Married and divorced\/separated survivors reported higher rates of economic, verbal, physical, and sexual abuse compared with single survivors. Profession was significantly associated with sexual violence, which was reported more frequently among women engaged in professional services (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
