Myth and Reality

Babies, children, women of all ages and men can all experience sexual violence.

However, of all the groups, girls between the ages of 10-19 years of age have the highest victimisation rates for sexual violence (Recorded Crime – Victims Australia 2003).

Of the adult groups, women between the ages of 18-24 are most likely to experience sexual violence (Women’s Safety Survey 1995).
