In 2022, law enforcement had recorded more than 76,000 cases of sexual violence in France, 87 percent of which involved female victims. While it is clear in the light of these figures that women are much more affected by sexual violence than men, it also appears that the older the victims, the more women are represented among them. Thus, in the case of rape, a little more than three-quarters of the victims under 15 years of age were women, but this proportion rose to 94 percent among adult victims.
