Women Who Report Sexual Violence

Image result for how many women are abused around the world

This picture shows the amount of women that are forced to engage in sexual acts before they turn 18. Although these statistics are from 2005-2016, I believe it is important to see how different areas of the world are affected by sexual violence. These women are victims; and this crime happened to them while they were still minors. I think it’s important to realize that these women were 18-29 years old when they reported what happened to them. Even though they eventually reported it, they had to deal , and probably are still dealing, with the consequences that this experience put them through. After looking at this chart, it makes me wonder how many women still haven’t reported what happened to them, and how the numbers would differ if all women had reported this violence.
