A survey conducted at the Rotunda in 2000 found that one in eight pregnant women experience violence during pregnancy. It is a heightened time for violence against women. Does Dr. Eogan agree that many such women were probably raped at some point during their abusive experience but did not attend a sexual assault treatment unit?
