The Alaska Victimization Survey, every five years, asks respondents whether they have experienced sexual violence, violence from an intimate partner, or both. The survey performed in 2020 found that nearly half of adult Alaska women — 48% — have experienced intimate partner violence in their lifetime.

Robyn Gray, a 29-year-old woman from Fairbanks, Alaska, was found unresponsive in her home in early July 2017; her death was ruled a homicide at the hands of her boyfriend.
