- Around 1 in 18 men have experienced some form of sexual violence since the age of 16.
- An estimated 1 in 6 children have been sexually abused.
- Each year, approximately 798,000 women across England and Wales are raped or sexually assaulted, equating to about 1 in 30 women annually.
- Women constitute 94% of survivors of rape or attempted rape.
