Some of the report's findings:

*        The lifetime and 12-month prevalence of rape by an intimate partner for women were an estimated 8.8% and 0.8%, respectively.


*        An estimated 15.8% of women and 9.5% of men experienced other forms of sexual violence by an intimate partner during their lifetimes, whereas an estimated 2.1% of both men and women experienced these forms of sexual violence by a partner in the 12 months before taking the survey.
