FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 22, 2009 - Today, the Violence Policy Center released their annual study for 2007 showing the top 10 states for women killed by men. New Mexico ranked 7th in the country. Louisiana ranked 1st, Alaska 2nd, Wyoming 3rd, Arkansas 4th, Nevada 5th, Alabama 6th, New Mexico 7th, South Carolina 8th, Oklahoma 9th and Arizona 10th.

According to VPC's 2006 study, New Mexico ranked 18. In their 2007 study, we ranked 7. It is obvious we are in a state of crisis! It is imperative we turn these findings into an opportunity for change. Ranking at #7 is devastating and not acceptable. It clearly shows we are still losing victims to domestic violence at a much higher rate than before.
