At least 35 percent of women worldwide (over 1 in 3) reported having experienced violence at some point in their lifetime, whether physical, sexual, or both. "One in 10 girls under the age of 18 was forced to have sex." [UN Report on violence against women worldwide, 2015]
However, violence against women and girls is still largely unreported, especially in underdeveloped countries. Some sources claim the percentage world wide may be closer to half (50%) or even higher.
NOTE: Women and children who are still in the midst of abuse and violence are less likely to report, until they are safe. Therefore, the 35% could be much higher, even doubled if their experiences were known and counted in the statistics.
