The statistic is 44% and it wasn't recording "domestic violence between lesbian couples". The survey asked women If they ever experienced physical, verbal, or emotional abuse, stalking, and sexual assault by an intimate partner at one point in their lives. Of which 44% of lesbian women, 61% of bisexual women and 35% of straight women said yes.
Risk factors for the offending partner remained the same among all groups (alcohol abuse, power imbalances, being previous victims of abuse, troubled upbringings, violence between parents etc)
