Sexual violence in childhood and adolescence is an extremely widespread phenomenon in France, especially for girls. It affects people from all social backgrounds. Boys are less likely to experience violence and less likely to talk about it. Girls mostly experience sexual abuse from family members or friends. Most abusers are men. One in 2 women who suffered sexual abuse as a child or adolescent, and 1 in 3 men, have spoken to someone about it. They most often confide only in family members, particularly their parents, and close intimates.
