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

In 2023, 376,038 women were victims of rape or sexual assault in the United States, while the corresponding number of men who were raped or sexually assaulted in that year was 104,979.

In 2023, 88 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 98 percent. Regarding sexual offenses, 85 percent of the victims were women, and 96 percent of the perpetrators were men. It should also be noted that the older the victims, the more women are represented among them.

In the United States, significantly more women than men are sexually assaulted. In 2023, about 376,038 women were raped or sexually assaulted in the U.S. - a decrease from the previous year. In comparison, 104,979 men were raped or sexually assaulted in 2023, which was an increase compared to the year before.

This study offers novel insights into mechanisms associated with sexual assault (SA) among sexual minority women (SMW). Experiences of bias and stigma contribute to lower rates of SA reporting by this population. This results in victims with unmet needs and fewer criminal prosecutions of SA perpetrators. This study used a mixed-methods approach to collect data from lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual women to instigate changes that would improve responses from law enforcement, victim services, and anti-violence programs that serve SMW. This study comprised of three parts a: baseline survey, qualitative interview, and daily survey. Self-reported baseline questionnaires included topics like lifetime victimization (childhood sexual abuse, adult sexual aggression, and assault), discrimination, distress, mental health, alcohol use, and sexual history. The qualitative interviews focused on the most recent, and when applicable, the most salient adult sexual assault (ASA) incident. Interviews began by asking the participants to describe their ASA incidents with follow-probes asking about the victimization, perpetrator characteristics (gender and relationship to participant), and context of assault (role of alcohol or drugs and setting). Participants were also asked if they discussed the assault with anyone and their reasons for disclosure or non-disclosure. As well as short and long-term coping patterns. The daily survey asked participants about their mood, alcohol use, drinking contexts, and sexual experiences (consensual and non-consensual). This study contains demographic information such as: age, race, income, education, and BMI.

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 96 percent of the cases, the family member was a man.

Campus sexual assault investigation confirmed statistics- statistics by gender and age of the perpetrator.

In 2022, threats was the type of crime reported by the highest share of both women and men in Sweden, with 7.6 and 8.0 percent, respectively. Moreover, except for harassment and sexual assault, the share of self-reported crimes was highest among men for each type of crime. Nearly eight percent of women in Sweden reported that they were victims of sexual abuse, compared to only one percent of men.

In France, in 2021, among male victims of child sexual abuse by a family member, 64.5 percent of them were victims of rape.

During this 2017 survey, 42 percent of surveyed women stated they have experienced sexual harassment, while 11 percent of surveyed men stated the same. In total, about 27 percent of American adults stated they have been sexually harassed before.

Increasing awareness in the U.S.

Sexual harassment is, of course, illegal but notoriously underreported. The discrepancy between perceived figures of cases and actual ones is severe, and in fact the actual number of cases of sexual harassment is at least twice as high as the average guesses, regardless of the country the survey was conducted in. However, in the United States, only a third of men and just as many women are really concerned about sexual harassment of women.

metoo sheds some light on dark figures

When the #metoo movement started in 2017, many women and men came forward and shared their experiences, and the number of reported cases of rape increased significantly. Public support for this movement is high in the United States, especially among the younger generations. Still, the United States have a long way to go, with harassment and discrimination based on gender and sexual harassment in the workplace still being a problem that needs to be addressed more thoroughly.

Since 2014, 209 incidents of anti-LGBTQ+ related hate crimes have been reported in ten of the 32 federal entities in Mexico where the source is able to collect data from local organizations. Trans women were the main target of such crimes, representing 44.5 percent of the known victims. Men followed closely, as 40.7 percent of victims of these incidents identified as such. Moreover, the sexual orientation of over 60 percent of victims was defined as homosexual. Due to the difficulties that gathering this data poses, the source estimates that the real figures of hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community are considerably higher, with at least three unreported incidents for each known crime.

BackgroundResearch indicates that sexual violence affects about 30% of women in the general population and between two to three times as much for autistic women.Materials and MethodsWe investigated prevalence of sexual abuse, autistic traits and a range of symptoms, using an online survey addressed to the women of the French autistic community (n = 225). We assessed victimization through an open question and through a specific questionnaire, derived from the Sexual Experiences Survey-Short Form Victimization.ResultsBoth case identification methods yielded high figures: 68.9% victimization (open question) compared to 88.4% (standardized questionnaire). Two thirds of the victims were very young when they were first assaulted: among 199 victims, 135 were aged 18 or below and 112 participants were aged 15 or below. 75% of participants included in our study reported several aggressions. Analyses indicate that primo-victimization was highly correlated to revictimization and that being young increased that risk. Young victims were also at higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder. A third of the victims reported the assault. 25% of those were able to file a complaint (n = 12) and/or receive care (n = 13). For the remainder 75%, reporting did not lead to action.DiscussionThose findings indicate a very large proportion of victims of sexual assault among autistic women, consistently with previous research. The World Health Organization states unambiguously that sexual violence is systemic and that vulnerable individuals are preferably targeted by offenders. We therefore postulate that it would be erroneous to consider that victimization of autistic women is mainly due to autism. On the contrary, autism seems to be just a vulnerability factor. Some authors propose that educating potential victims to better protect themselves would help preventing abuse. We reviewed this proposition in the light of our results and found it to be impossible to apply since more than half of the victims were below or at the age of consent. Literature about sexual violence is discussed. Large-scale prevention programs proposed by World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control aim at cultural changes in order to diminish gender inequality, that they identify as the very root of sexual violence.

This dataset contains the yearly statistics on the number of victims by offense types and by bias motivation. Major categories of offense types include crimes against persons, crimes against property and crimes against society. Each offense type is further categorized by type of crime such as murder, rape, trafficking, robbery etc. Major categories of bias motivations include Race/Ethnicity/Ancestry, Religion, Sexual Orientation, Disability, Gender and Gender Identity.

An annual publication in which the FBI provides data on the number of incidents, offenses, victims, and offenders in reported crimes that were motivated in whole or in part by a bias against the victim as perceived race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, disability, and gender identity.

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.

This dataset contains the yearly statistics on the incidents, offenses, victims and known offenders of hate crimes by bias motivation. Major categories of bias motivations include Race/Ethnicity/Ancestry, Religion, Sexual Orientation, Disability, Gender and Gender Identity.

To examine prevalence of verbal, physical, and sexual abuses in young elite athletes, a cross sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted during the World Athletics under 20 World Championships. This questionnaire aimed at distinguishing between abuses perpetrated in the context of Athletics from those which were unrelated to Athletics. Four hundred and eighty athletes (52.3%, male) from North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania took part in the electronic anonymous survey. Outside Athletics setting, no gender difference was found for the prevalence of verbal, physical, and sexual abuses. However, 45 males (18% of the male population) and 34 females (15% of the female population) athletes reported sexual abuse. Asian athletes reported a slightly higher rate of sexual abuse; three quarters of them being non-touching abuses. Inside Athletics setting, no gender difference was found for the prevalence of verbal, physical, and non-touching sexual abuses. However, 58 males (23%) and 47 females (21%) reported verbal abuses. Thirty-one males (12%) and 20 females (9%) reported physical abuses, whereas 30 males (12%) and 17 females (7%) reported sexual abuses. Physical abuses were slightly more frequent in Asia and in Africa and less frequent in South America. Sexual abuses inside Athletics also differed over regions, and were unexpectedly twice more frequent than expected in Asia and slightly less frequent than expected in Europe. Friends and partners were identified as the more frequent (>50%) abusers outside or inside the Athletics settings, whereas outside Athletics and inside Athletics, coaches were identified as sexual abuse perpetrators in 8 and 25% of cases, respectively. The prevalence of verbal, physical, or sexual abuses is high but consistent with what has been reported in United Kingdom, Norway, Canada, and Sweden at national level in recreational or elite athletes. Sexual abuse, including touching or penetrative abuses, occurred significantly more often in male athletes when compared to female athletes. This finding invites healthcare and social workers, and policymakers to also consider the risk of sexual abuse of young male athletes in Athletics. These results also call for longitudinal studies on young elite athletes.
