  • More than half (54.3%) of women and one third of men (30.7%) experienced contact sexual violence during their lifetimes.
  • An estimated 39.2 million women (31.5%) and 15.7 million men (13.3%) first experienced contact sexual violence prior to age 18.

 

While these numbers are staggering, it begs the question, what more can we be doing? How can we continue to work to prevent and end sexual violence? Read PreventConnect’s blog post to learn more.
