Statistics reveal that the head, neck, chest, abdomen and genital areas are where women are attacked the most because these are the most vulnerable body parts, says House of Antara co-founder Allison Jong. 


This were some of the stark facts about domestic abuse that Jong and Deborah Woong, co-founders of the fashion brand, discovered while researching for a project they were doing with Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) in conjunction with the International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women (IDEVAW).
