CSO: One in four women suffered sexual violence as an adult with a partner

“The Sexual Violence Survey 2022 – Adult Experiences” report, published on Thursday, analyses ages, ethnicities and sexual orientation in terms of where the harm happens and who carries out sexual violence.

Almost one in 10 people in Ireland who experienced sexual violence as an adult had this happen in the last year, according to new data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO).

This is the second in a series of reports which the CSO is publishing on the issue and it focuses only on adults who experienced sexual violence when they were over the age of 18.
