Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention
Providing training and technical assistance to family violence professionals throughout the world on Strangulation and Suffocation crimes.
68% to 80% of abused women will experience near-fatal strangulation.
Strangulation has been identified as one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence and sexual assault: unconsciousness may occur within seconds and death within minutes. When domestic violence perpetrators choke (strangle) their victims, not only is this felonious assault, but it may be an attempted homicide.
Strangulation is an ultimate form of power and control where the batterer can demonstrate control over the victim’s next breath: it may have devastating psychological effects or a potentially fatal outcome.
