In Australia, Canada, Israel, South Africa, and the United States, between 40% and 70% percent of female murder victims were killed by their intimate partners. Source: UN Women. Fast Facts: Statistics on Violence against Women and Girls, 2014
Cross sectional research from a decade long study within African countries, including Rwanda, Tanzania and South Africa, as well as recent findings from India, consistently found women who experienced intimate partner violence were more likely to be infected with HIV. Source: The Facts: Violence against Women and MDGs. 2010.
In South Africa, the 2011/2012 crime statistics report nearly 26,000 child victims, which account for 40% of all sexual offences. These figures are likely to be an underestimate, as only one in nine cases of sexual assault is reported to the police. Rape homicide, the most extreme form and consequence of sexual violence, is a relatively rare event in other countries, but was linked to 102 child murders in South Africa in 2009, and almost exclusively affects girls. Source: South Africa, Child Gauge, Chanaaz Mathews et al. 2014, UNICEF
Police crime statistics released in September 2015 state that in 2014/2015 there were a total of 53,617 sexual offenses reported to the South African Police Services (SAPS). This translates into 147 cases per day. Source: Rape Crisis, Cape Town trust, 2015
According to a study carried out between 1994 and 2003, 20% of urban refugee girls in South Africa faced sexual violence and exploitation.
