The focus on men as the only or major perpetrators of domestic violence is wrong.
There are many, many studies that disprove this.
Here are the results of just one New Zealand survey.
Has any partner EVER actually used force or violence on you, such as deliberately hit, kicked, pushed, grabbed or shoved you, or deliberately hit you with something, in a way that could have hurt you?
Sample of 2526 ever partnered women 21.2 percent
Sample of 1721 ever partnered men 14.4 percent
This initiative to screen all women entering hospital is unjustified.
And here's a thought. As with my other speculation about unthinkable unintended consequences (below) there are some men who are sadistically and pathologically jealous and violently controlling. If such a man knows his partner will be questioned in hospital won't he act to prevent her ever getting there?
