Clearly women's safety and privacy are of no importance to NZ Post. Shameless sexist shit.

Perpetrator figures are probably higher as many crimes cruelties, abuses and abusers are not documented as not reported. To give another statistic that has held for a while it is one in eight males experiencing violence, a few sexually abused by women, but majority by males.

Interesting stat about 1 in 8 males experiencing violence, as it's usually reported that males are victims of violence (predominantly by other men) more than women are. I know that there is more to it than that sentence implies, but the 1 in 8 men compared to 1 in 3 women struck me, as I'm guessing that men under-report violence from other men, too.

Good for you. If I can niggles, would leave out sentence which begins Most men will not hurt women...' untrue, as women are 1 in 3 the victims of men in Aotearoa and in other countries stats are worse.

Does the 1 in 3 statistic of women being victims of male violence in NZ equate with 1 in 3 men committing that violence?

No. Most men use porn. Gail Dines research. Women die at men's hands every few minutes.
