Istat Survey: Share of Italian Women Reporting Childhood Sexual Violence Declines
National statistics agency Istat reports 7.8% of women experienced sexual violence before age 16 in 2025, down from 10.6% in 2014.
Italy's national statistics institute, Istat, reported that 7.8% of women said they experienced sexual violence before the age of 16, according to a 2025 survey cited by ANSA.
The figure marks a decline from 10.6% recorded in a similar survey conducted in 2014, Istat said.
ANSA did not provide further details on the survey's methodology, sample size, or additional findings in its report.
Istat has periodically tracked violence against women in Italy through national surveys, though this report did not specify whether further breakdowns or context would be released separately.
