Abuse noticeably higher for girls: around one in four women (25%; 5.1 million) and around one in six men (16%; 3.3 million) experienced abuse - much higher numbers experiencing sexual abuse, but girls experiencing more in each category of abuse bar physical, which was equal.

Also huge numbers of people never tell anyone: one in seven adults who called the National Association for People Abused in Childhood’s helpline hadn’t told anyone about their abuse before.

That’s in part down to people underestimating how many other victims there are, I had to call Childline several times before telling anyone I knew, but statistically it’s almost impossible you don’t know victims. The release also underestimates abuse because it excludes 16-17yos.
