Data Stories & Reports

01

Are Our Schools Safe?

School isn't the most common place violence happens, but it isn't free of it either. About 1 in 7 girls and 1 in 9 boys say their first experience of sexual violence happened at school.

02

Are Our Homes Safe?

Home is supposed to be the safest place for a child — and mostly it is. But about half of female and nearly two-thirds of male survivors say their first experience of violence happened at home.

03

The Silent Boys

Boys face real violence too, but stigma keeps them quiet. Only about 1 in 11 male survivors ever sought help — the same low rate as girls.

04

06

07

Left Behind — Disability & Orphanhood

08

Zanzibar's Different Story

In Zanzibar, the pattern flips: boys consistently report more violence than girls across nearly every category measured.

09

Breaking the Cycle

Children who witness violence at home are measurably more likely to experience — and later perpetrate — violence themselves.

10

The Cost of Silence

Many young people do speak up, but very few ever receive real help. Only 1 in 14 female survivors of sexual violence sought formal support.

What Changed — Progress Since 2009

Violence has dropped dramatically since 2009 across nearly every category measured — real proof that prevention works.
