Abstract
There are battered women in every obstetrician-gynecologist's practice. A role for the physicians is to be an agent of change for the patient. This is accomplished by integrating questions related to woman battering in all primary care, obstetric, and gynecologic evaluations and by becoming informed about and referring to the resources for battered women in the community. An activist role in the community that encourages and supports zero tolerance for domestic violence will help stop this epidemic and crime.
