Act now to support sexual offence victims
Western Mail
|August 04, 2025
IT IS alarming to see official new data revealing the number of sexual offences reported to police soared in Wales last year.
-
One in eight women and one in 12 men aged 16 or over was a victim of sexual assault, domestic abuse, or stalking in 2024.
That makes the overall average one in 10 for adults in England and Wales.
It's the first time an estimate has been made of the combined prevalence of sexual assault, domestic abuse, and stalking.
While the Home Office figures show crimes recorded by police, the new estimates of people suffering sexual assault, domestic abuse, or stalking have been published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) using data collected as part of the Crime Survey for England and Wales.
