INTIMATE PARTNER SEXUAL VIOLENCE BY THE NUMBERS

  • 68% of physically abused women also reported sexual assault

  • 79% of sexually assaulted women reported repeated episodes of forced sex

  • Only 6% of sexually assaulted women contacted the police following the first sexual assault; 8% applied for a protection order

  • Justice contact, either police or protection orders, were associated with up to a 70% reduction in the risk of re-assault

  • Not contacting the police after the first sexual assault doubled a woman’s risk of re-assault; not applying for a protection order tripled her re-assault risk

  • Abuse victims who are also sexually assaulted have higher rates of severe injury and being killed than victims of physical violence alone
