One in four Irish women faced sexual violence with a partner, figures show | Roscommon Herald


By Cillian Sherlock, PAOne in four adult women has experienced sexual violence with a partner, according to figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). Just under 30 per cent of women experienced sexual violence as an adult with a non-partner, which was over three times the level for men at 9 per cent. For sexual violence as an adult with a non-partner, the most prevalent location was in a pub/club/disco for men (30 per cent) and women (26 per cent). More than eight in 10 adults (84 per cent) who experienced sexual violence as an adult with a partner and almost nine in 10 adults (87 per cent) who experienced sexual violence as an adult with a non-partner reported that the perpetrator was male. Bisexual and gay/lesbian people reported higher levels of sexual violence as an adult (55 per cent and 40 per cent respectively) than heterosexual/straight people (25 per cent).
