"Researchers at the University at Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions report that 18 percent of young women recruited into a study experienced sexual victimisation in a two-year period. Victimisation was defined as unwanted sexual contact, verbally coerced sex, rape or attempted rape. Among this group, the majority (approximately 66 percent) stated that their victimisation was perpetrated by an intimate partner. Importantly, it was found that sexual victimisation of women by intimate partners and non-intimate partners are two completely separate phenomena. Two different sets of risk factors exist for victimisation by two different types of perpetrators."
