FRIAS, Sonia. Women’s rape and attempted rape, help-seeking behavior and report to authorities. Results from the 2016 ENDIREH. Pap. poblac [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.95, pp.237-272. ISSN 2448-7147. https://doi.org/10.22185/24487147.2018.95.10.
Rape and attempted rape of women during childhood and adolescence (before 15 years old), last year and lifetime by a non-intimate partner are examined by using data from the 2016 National Survey on Household Relationship Dynamics. Before the age of 15 years old, 5.1 per cent of women have experienced rape and/or attempted rape. 7.7 per cent of Mexican women have ever experienced one of them. Women who speak an indigenous language, unprivileged, residing in urban setting and with lower schooling are at a higher risk. During the last 12 months, only two out of every ten women who experienced rape or attempted rape sought help, and less than one out of ten events of rape or attempted rape were reported to law-enforcement agencies. The reasons why women do not seek help and press charges are examined. Public policy implications are discussed.
