In 2023, ** percent of the victims of rape or attempted rape recorded by the French security forces were women. The proportion of men among the perpetrators of these crimes was ** percent. Regarding sexual offenses, ** percent of the victims were women, and ** percent of the perpetrators were men. It should also be noted that the older the victims, the more women are represented among them.

In France, the majority of people who reported having been raped as children were women (**** out of five). On the other hand, the perpetrators of sexual violence against minors were mostly men. Only ***** percent of the victims had been assaulted by one or more women.

In the United States, more perpetrators of child abuse were women than men. In 2022, about 213,876 perpetrators of child abuse were women, compared to 199,617 male perpetrators.

This dataset relates to the number of women aged 18 years and over who experienced sexual violence in the previous 12 months by the relationship to all perpetrators (estimate). Cells in this table have been randomly adjusted to avoid the release of confidential data. Discrepancies may occur between sums of the component items and totals. The definition of 'sexual violence' includes sexual assault and/or sexual threat. 'Cohabiting partner' includes current partner and previous partner. 'Boyfriend/girlfriend/date' relationships may have different levels of commitment and involvement that does not involve living together. For example, this will include persons who have had one date only, regular dating with no sexual involvement, or a serious sexual or emotional relationship. It excludes de facto relationships. This estimate has a relative standard error of 25% to 50% and should be used with caution. 'Other known person' includes all other known persons besides cohabiting partner and boyfriend/girlfriend/date. Components are not able to be added together to produce a total. Where a person has experienced sexual violence by more than one type of perpetrator, they are counted separately for each perpetrator type but are counted only once in the aggregated total.

Abstract (en): The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) is an ongoing nationally representative survey that assessed experiences of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence among adult women and men in the United States and for each individual state. The survey focused exclusively on violence and collected information about Sexual violence by any perpetrator, including information related to rape, being made to penetrate someone else, sexual coercion, unwanted sexual contact, and non-contact unwanted sexual experiences ; Stalking, including the use of newer technologies such as text messages, emails, monitoring devices (e.g., cameras and GPS, or global positioning system devices), by perpetrators known and unknown to the victim ; Physical violence by an intimate partner ; Psychological aggression by an intimate partner, including information on expressive forms of aggression and coercive control ; Control of reproductive or sexual health by an intimate partner ; In addition to collecting lifetime and 12 month prevalence data on sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence, the survey collects information on the age at the time of the first victimization, demographic characteristics of respondents, demographic characteristics of perpetrators (age, sex, race/ethnicity) and detailed information about the context in which these types of violence occur. The primary objectives of the survey are to describe the prevalence and characteristics of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence in the United States; who is most likely to experience these forms of violence; the context in which sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence are experienced; and the consequences and impacts of these forms of violence. The data file contains 18,957 cases and 26,114 variables. The primary objectives of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey were to describe (1) the prevalence and characteristics of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence; (2) who is most likely to experience these forms of violence; (3) the patterns and impact of the violence experienced by specific perpetrators; and (4) the health consequences of these forms of violence. The survey was conducted in 50 states and the District of Columbia and was administered using a computer-assisted telephone interview from January 22, 2010 through December 31, 2010. In 2010, a total of 18,049 interviews were conducted (9,970 women and 8,079 men) in the United States general population. This included 16,507 completed and 1,542 partially completed interviews. A total of 9,086 females and 7,421 males completed the survey. Approximately 45.2 percent of interviews were conducted by landline telephone and 54.8 percent of interviews were conducted using a respondent's cell phone. Advance Letters Reverse address matching was used to link available addresses to the landline sample. Approximately 50 percent of telephone numbers in the landline sample were matched. Prior to contacting participants, informational letters addressed to "Resident" were sent to available addresses to make residents aware that they would be receiving a request for an interview in the coming days. Following the World Health Organization's guidelines for research on domestic violence, introductory letters were carefully written, providing only general information about the survey to maximize safety and confidentiality. Incentives Respondents in the landline and cell phone samples were offered an incentive of 10 dollars to participate in the survey. Respondents could choose to have the incentive mailed to them or donated to the United Way on their behalf; 58.4 percent of respondents chose to donate their incentive. For respondents who chose to receive the incentive, mailing information was obtained so the incentive check could be sent to them. Mailing information was kept in a separate database from data collected during the administration of the survey and destroyed at the end of data collection. Graduated Informed Consent Process A graduated informed consent protocol was used to ensure respondent safety and confidentiality in accordance with recommended guidelines for surveys on sensitive topics such as violence victimization (Sullivan and Cain, 2004; WHO, 2001). With a graduated informed consent protocol, the initial person who answers the telephone is provided general non-specific information about the surv...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the assistance provided to women victims of sexual violence and their participation in the follow-up treatment after the traumatic event, presenting a sociodemographic profile, gynecological background, and circumstances of the event, and reporting the results, acceptance, and side effects of prophylaxis for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy. Methods A retrospective cohort study comprising the period between 2007 and 2016. All women receiving medical care and clinical follow-up after a severe episode of sexual violence were included. Records of domestic violence, male victims, children, and adolescents who reported consensual sexual activity were excluded. The present study included descriptive statistics as frequencies and percentages. Results A total of 867medical records were reviewed and 444 cases of sexual violence were included. The age of the victims ranged from10 to 77 years old, most of them selfdeclared white, with between 4 and 8 years of education, and denying having a sexual partner. Sexual violence occurred predominantly at night, on public thoroughfare, being committed by an unknown offender. Most victims were assisted at the referral service center within 72 hours after the violence, enabling the recommended prophylaxis. There was high acceptance of antiretroviral therapy (ART), although half of the users reported side effects. Seroconversion to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or to hepatitis B virus (HBV) was not detected in women undergoing prophylaxis. Conclusion In the present cohort, the profile of victims of sexual violence was loweducated, young, white women. The traumatic event occurred predominantly at night, on public thoroughfare, being committed by an unknown offender. Assistance within the first 72 hours after sexual violence enables the healthcare center to provide prophylactic interventions against STIs and unwanted pregnancies.

The goal of the Chicago Women's Health Risk Study (CWHRS) was to develop a reliable and validated profile of risk factors directly related to lethal or life-threatening outcomes in intimate partner violence, for use in agencies and organizations working to help women in abusive relationships. Data were collected to draw comparisons between abused women in situations resulting in fatal outcomes and those without fatal outcomes, as well as a baseline comparison of abused women and non-abused women, taking into account the interaction of events, circumstances, and interventions occurring over the course of a year or two. The CWHRS used a quasi-experimental design to gather survey data on 705 women at the point of service for any kind of treatment (related to abuse or not) sought at one of four medical sites serving populations in areas with high rates of intimate partner homicide (Chicago Women's Health Center, Cook County Hospital, Erie Family Health Center, and Roseland Public Health Center). Over 2,600 women were randomly screened in these settings, following strict protocols for safety and privacy. One goal of the design was that the sample would not systematically exclude high-risk but understudied populations, such as expectant mothers, women without regular sources of health care, and abused women in situations where the abuse is unknown to helping agencies. To accomplish this, the study used sensitive contact and interview procedures, developed sensitive instruments, and worked closely with each sample site. The CWHRS attempted to interview all women who answered "yes -- within the past year" to any of the three screening questions, and about 30 percent of women who did not answer yes, provided that the women were over age 17 and had been in an intimate relationship in the past year. In total, 705 women were interviewed, 497 of whom reported that they had experienced physical violence or a violent threat at the hands of an intimate partner in the past year (the abused, or AW, group). The remaining 208 women formed the comparison group (the non-abused, or NAW, group). Data from the initial interview sections comprise Parts 1-8. For some women, the AW versus NAW interview status was not the same as their screening status. When a woman told the interviewer that she had experienced violence or a violent threat in the past year, she and the interviewer completed a daily calendar history, including details of important events and each violent incident that had occurred the previous year. The study attempted to conduct one or two follow-up interviews over the following year with the 497 women categorized as AW. The follow-up rate was 66 percent. Data from this part of the clinic/hospital sample are found in Parts 9-12. In addition to the clinic/hospital sample, the CWHRS collected data on each of the 87 intimate partner homicides occurring in Chicago over a two-year period that involved at least one woman age 18 or older. Using the same interview schedule as for the clinic/hospital sample, CWHRS interviewers conducted personal interviews with one to three "proxy respondents" per case, people who were knowledgeable and credible sources of information about the couple and their relationship, and information was compiled from official or public records, such as court records, witness statements, and newspaper accounts (Parts 13-15). In homicides in which a woman was the homicide offender, attempts were made to contact and interview her. This "lethal" sample, all such homicides that took place in 1995 or 1996, was developed from two sources, HOMICIDES IN CHICAGO, 1965-1995 (ICPSR 6399) and the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. Part 1 includes demographic variables describing each respondent, such as age, race and ethnicity, level of education, employment status, screening status (AW or NAW), birthplace, and marital status. Variables in Part 2 include details about the woman's household, such as whether she was homeless, the number of people living in the household and details about each person, the number of her children or other children in the household, details of any of her children not living in her household, and any changes in the household structure over the past year. Variables in Part 3 deal with the woman's physical and mental health, including pregnancy, and with her social support network and material resources. Variables in Part 4 provide information on the number and type of firearms in the household, whether the woman had experienced power, control, stalking, or harassment at the hands of an intimate partner in the past year, whether she had experienced specific types of violence or violent threats at the hands of an intimate partner in the past year, and whether she had experienced symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder related to the incidents in the past month. Variables in Part 5 specify the partner or partners who were responsible for the incidents in the past year, record the type and length of the woman's relationship with each of these partners, and provide detailed information on the one partner she chose to talk about (called "Name"). Variables in Part 6 probe the woman's help-seeking and interventions in the past year. Variables in Part 7 include questions comprising the Campbell Danger Assessment (Campbell, 1993). Part 8 assembles variables pertaining to the chosen abusive partner (Name). Part 9, an event-level file, includes the type and the date of each event the woman discussed in a 12-month retrospective calendar history. Part 10, an incident-level file, includes variables describing each violent incident or threat of violence. There is a unique identifier linking each woman to her set of events or incidents. Part 11 is a person-level file in which the incidents in Part 10 have been aggregated into totals for each woman. Variables in Part 11 include, for example, the total number of incidents during the year, the number of days before the interview that the most recent incident had occurred, and the severity of the most severe incident in the past year. Part 12 is a person-level file that summarizes incident information from the follow-up interviews, including the number of abuse incidents from the initial interview to the last follow-up, the number of days between the initial interview and the last follow-up, and the maximum severity of any follow-up incident. Parts 1-12 contain a unique identifier variable that allows users to link each respondent across files. Parts 13-15 contain data from official records sources and information supplied by proxies for victims of intimate partner homicides in 1995 and 1996 in Chicago. Part 13 contains information about the homicide incidents from the "lethal sample," along with outcomes of the court cases (if any) from the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts. Variables for Part 13 include the number of victims killed in the incident, the month and year of the incident, the gender, race, and age of both the victim and offender, who initiated the violence, the severity of any other violence immediately preceding the death, if leaving the relationship triggered the final incident, whether either partner was invading the other's home at the time of the incident, whether jealousy or infidelity was an issue in the final incident, whether there was drug or alcohol use noted by witnesses, the predominant motive of the homicide, _location of the homicide, relationship of victim to offender, type of weapon used, whether the offender committed suicide after the homicide, whether any criminal charges were filed, and the type of disposition and length of sentence for that charge. Parts 14 and 15 contain data collected using the proxy interview questionnaire (or the interview of the woman offender, if applicable). The questionnaire used for Part 14 was identical to the one used in the clinic sample, except for some extra questions about the homicide incident. The data include only those 76 cases for which at least one interview was conducted. Most variables in Part 14 pertain to the victim or the offender, regardless of gender (unless otherwise labeled). For ease of analysis, Part 15 includes the same 76 cases as Part 14, but the variables are organized from the woman's point of view, regardless of whether she was the victim or offender in the homicide (for the same-sex cases, Part 15 is from the woman victim's point of view). Parts 14 and 15 can be linked by ID number. However, Part 14 includes five sets of variables that were asked only from the woman's perspective in the original questionnaire: household composition, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), social support network, personal income (as opposed to household income), and help-seeking and intervention. To avoid redundancy, these variables appear only in Part 14. Other variables in Part 14 cover information about the person(s) interviewed, the victim's and offender's age, sex, race/ethnicity, birthplace, employment status at time of death, and level of education, a scale of the victim's and offender's severity of physical abuse in the year prior to the death, the length of the relationship between victim and offender, the number of children belonging to each partner, whether either partner tried to leave and/or asked the other to stay away, the reasons why each partner tried to leave, the longest amount of time each partner stayed away, whether either or both partners returned to the relationship before the death, any known physical or emotional problems sustained by victim or offender, including the four-item Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) scale of depression, drug and alcohol use of the victim and offender, number and type of guns in the household of the victim and offender, Scales of Power and Control (Johnson, 1996) or Stalking and Harassment (Sheridan, 1992) by either intimate partner in the year prior to the death, a modified version of the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS)

In the United States, significantly more women than men are sexually assaulted. In 2023, about ******* women were raped or sexually assaulted in the U.S. - a decrease from the previous year. In comparison, ******* men were raped or sexually assaulted in 2023, which was an increase compared to the year before.

In 2022, the total number of rape cases reported in India amounted to over 31 thousand. This was a slight decrease in rape cases compared to the previous year. Even though many rapes are not reported in the country, it is an issue that continuously makes news headlines, some leading to public protests. Although reports of rape have increased in recent years, it was still associated with shame for the victim, rather than the perpetrator. The justice system  A victim of rape in India not only experiences social stigmatization but what is more, her fight for justice is not made easy due to the system that often faults the victim for their misfortune. Instances have been reported where victims are confronted with hostile conditions at police stations and have been often pressured to withdraw their cases. However, once a case goes to trial, it can take decades before anything is resolved. Rape cases in particular, face huge backlog where the number of new cases supersede the number of cases disposed every year. The process is arduous and could add so much trauma to the victim’s life that they often buckle under pressure from family of their own or that of the perpetrator.  Women in India India is known to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women. Indian women are constantly in a state of high alert when alone on the streets, at work or in the markets. Due to India’s predominantly patriarchal nature, domestic violence is known to be culturally acceptable. Studies reveal that even a majority of working women suffer domestic abuse from their husbands. A non-earning woman’s position further exacerbates vulnerability and dependence on their male partner as opposed to a woman who contributors financially to the household. Rampant poverty across the country is the main driver for low literacy rates and consequently, disempowerment and abuse among women.

There are many myths and preconceptions surrounding the issues of rape and sexual assault. In the media and popular culture, much more focus is given to acts committed by unknown perpetrators, however, statistics show that, in France in 2021, fewer than ten percent of sexual attacks were of this nature, and over 90 percent of the attackers were known by the victim. Approximately 45 percent of rapes or attempted rapes were committed by the victim’s spouse or ex-spouse, while a similar share were committed by another person known to the victim.

Descriptive statistics for perpetrator and victim evaluations by atonement and status.

In 2022, there were slightly more female victims of violent crime than male victims in the United States, with about ********* male victims and ********* female victims. These figures are a significant increase from the previous year, when there were ********* male victims and ********* female victims. What counts as violent crime? Violent crime in the United States includes murder, rape, sexual assault, robbery, and assault. While violent crime across all areas has been steadily falling over the past few decades, the rate of aggravated assault is still relatively high, at ***** cases per 100,000 of the population. In 2021, there were more property crimes committed in the U.S. than there were violent crimes. Keep your enemies closer It is usually said that most victims know their attacker, and the data backs this up. In 2021, very few murders were committed by strangers. The same goes for rape and sexual assault victims; the majority were perpetrated by acquaintances, intimate partners, or relatives.

Abstract

Violence against children under 18 years of age is a major human rights violation and social and health problem throughout the world. Generally, child abuse is divided into three major categories: physical, emotional, and sexual, all of which can have significant short- and long-term health consequences for children. These include injury, sexual and reproductive health problems, unintended pregnancy, increased risk of HIV, mental health issues, alcohol and drug abuse, social ostracism, and increased incidence of chronic disease in adulthood. Those who have experienced childhood violence are more likely to engage in risk behaviors as adolescents and adults, and may be more likely to become perpetrators themselves.

The key objectives of Cambodia VACS are:

• To estimate the national prevalence of physical, emotional and sexual violence perpetrated against boys and girls, including touching without permission, attempted sexual intercourse, physically forced sexual intercourse, and pressured sexual intercourse perpetrated against boys and girls prior to turning age 18 and more recently;

• To identify risk and protective factors for physical, emotional and sexual violence against children to inform stakeholders and guide prevention efforts;

• To identify the health and social consequences associated with violence against children;

• To assess the knowledge and utilization of medical, psychosocial, legal, and protective services available for children who have experienced sexual, emotional and physical violence;

• To identify areas for further research; and

• To make recommendations to the Government of Cambodia and international and local partners on developing, improving and enhancing prevention and response strategies to address violence against children as part of a larger, comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach to child protection.

Sampling procedure

VACS 2013 makes use of a four-stage cluster sample survey design. In the first stage, a total of 225 villages were selected using probability proportional to size with an allocation by urbanization (27% urban/ 73% rural). In stage 2, enumeration areas known as EAs - the primary sampling units based on geographical subdivisions in Cambodia determined by the department of demographic statistics, censuses and surveys - were selected. The 225 sample EAs were gendered (106 female and 119 male EAs) and one EA was randomly selected from each of the 225 sampled villages. In stage 3, a fixed number of 25 households were selected by equal probability systematic sampling from each selected EA. In stage 4, one eligible respondent (female or male depending on the EA) was randomly selected from the list of all eligible respondents (females or males) 13-24 years of age in each household.

The sampling frame was originally compiled by the National Institute of Statistics for the national population census in 2013. In preparation for several national surveys, the sampling frame was updated in 2012 and takes into account the 2011 reclassification of urban areas in Cambodia.

To calculate separate male and female prevalence estimates for violence victimization, a split sample was used. This means that the survey for females was conducted in different EAs than the survey for males. The split sample approach serves to protect the confidentiality of respondents, and eliminates the chance that a male perpetrator of a sexual assault and the female who was the victim of his sexual assault in the same community would both be interviewed. The design also eliminates the chance that a female perpetrator and a male victim of sexual violence from the same community would both be interviewed.

Prior to the implementation of the survey, a mapping and listing team, primarily composed of supervisors identified for the actual survey, visited all of the randomly selected EAs from the second stage of sampling. It was necessary to map and list all structures within each EA. After the list was constructed, a cluster of 25 households, based on sample size estimates, were selected using either simple random selection, or systematic selection with a random start.

During survey implementation, 25 households were randomly selected in each EA. Upon entering a randomly selected household, interviewers were tasked to identify the head of household or the person representing the head of household in order to introduce the study and complete a household list to determine eligibility of household members to participate in the study. The head of household were requested to participate in a short (15 minute) survey to assess the socio-economic conditions of the household (Appendices W/AA). When there was more than one eligible participant, the interviewer randomly selected one respondent using the Kish Method. If there was no eligible participant, the household was still requested to participate in the household questionnaire. In the case that the head of household is a female or male 13-24 years old, she or he was included in the household listing and may be selected as the respondent. In this case, she or he completed the household questionnaire and the respondent questionnaire. If the selected respondent was not available after three attempts or refused to participate, the household was skipped regardless of whether another eligible respondent existed in the household, thus, the household was not replaced.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The development of a standardized global questionnaire was led by CDC scientists with extensive external consultation. A broad range of academic background and subject-matter expertise is represented in the team at CDC and among the external consultants who developed this tool. The questionnaire draws questions and definitions from a number of well-respected survey tools which has the benefit of (a) being able to compare data on various measures with other studies as a useful validation and an interesting comparison and (b) using measures that have already been field tested in other studies. In addition, the questionnaire has been previously implemented in five other countries (i.e. Swaziland, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Haiti) after being adapted based on vital country-level review by stakeholders.

The following international and violence surveys helped to inform the questionnaire: - Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey (CDHS) - National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Surveillance System (NISVSS) - The Child Sexual Assault Survey (CSA) - Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN) - ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool (ICAST) - HIV/AIDS/STD Behavioral Surveillance Surveys (BSS) - Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) - National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) - World Health Organization (WHO) Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence against Women - Behavioral Risk Fact Surveillance System (BRFSS) - Hopkins Symptoms Checklist - ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool (ICAST)

The questionnaire has been further adapted for Cambodia (Appendices W/AA, X/BB, Y/CC). Consultation with key informants from Cambodia and input from stakeholders participating in the Technical Working Group on Questionnaire Development (part of the Steering Committee), who are familiar with the problem of violence against children, child protection, and the cultural context, helped to further adapt the questionnaire and survey protocol for Cambodia.

The questionnaire includes the following topics: demographics; parental relations, family, friends and community support, school experiences, sexual behavior and practices; physical, emotional, and sexual violence; perpetration of sexual violence, health outcomes associated with exposure to violence; and utilization and barriers to health services. The background characteristics of the study respondents and the head of household survey include questions that assess age, socio-economic status, marital status, work status, education, and living situation. The sexual behavior and HIV/AIDS component utilizes questions from the CDHS, BSS, and WHO Multi-country study. Sexual behavior questions are divided among the following topics: sexual behavior, including sex in exchange for money or goods, pregnancy, and HIV/AIDS testing. The sexual violence module, the primary focus of the study, includes questions on the types of sexual violence experienced and important information on the circumstances of these incidents, such as the settings where sexual violence occurred and the relationship between the victim and perpetrator. This information will be collected on the first and most recent incidents of sexual violence, which will include a question on whether sexual violence occurred within the past 12-months. In addition, we developed several questions assessing potential risk and protective factors, including attitudes around sexual violence. Some of these questions were based on DHS, YRBS, and Add Health. We also ask

According to a survey in Indonesia in 2020, **** percent of respondents who have experienced sexual violence or know someone who has experienced sexual violence stated that the perpetrator was someone they know. The same survey found that the majority of those who suffered sexual violence were women.

In September 2021, the Indonesian House of Representatives Legislation Body (Baleg) proposed changes in the latest draft of the sexual violence eradication bill (RUU PKS), streamlining **** types of sexual violence into **** types, removing, among others, forced marriage and forced abortion. The chapter that would provide rights to the victims of sexual violence – the right to the judicial process, the right to protection, and the right to recovery – was also removed. Many activists in Indonesia see a risk that the removal of these articles could lead to the degradation of the victim rights during the criminal process.

In 2023, around 76,620 people were charged by French law enforcement authorities for sexual violence. The age group most represented among those implicated were 30-44 year-olds: law enforcement counted more than 20,000 men indicted, compared to 623 women. In general, the proportion of women among the perpetrators of sexual crimes and offenses is extremely low compared to that of men.

In France, the majority of people who reported having been raped as children were women (**** out of five). In addition, it was found that nearly a quarter of those who were raped as minors experienced the abuse between the ages of **** and ****. Five percent of the victims were aged under three years old at the time of the crime. Furthermore, in nearly half of the cases, the person who committed rape(s) against a minor was a close or extended family member.

In 2021, it was found that in France, in cases of child abuse, the perpetrator was in most cases, a man, regardless of the victim's gender or the context of the aggression. For instance, in cases of aggression on a female victim by a family member, in more than ** percent of the cases, the family member was a man.
