Study on sexual violence to be carried out every ten years under new agreement

A national survey on the prevalence of sexual violence in Ireland will be carried out every ten years after an agreement was signed between the Department of Justice and Equality and the Central Statistics Office (CSO) today.
The Department signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the CSO today after a decision was reached last November that a major survey should be carried out into the experience of women and men of sexual violence.
