This website uses careful legal and editorial language to report responsibly and reduce legal risk. Our support remains clear: we stand with Jane Doe and all Jane Does. Every survivor deserves safety, support and the right to be heard.
Use this archive for source review, reporting options and survivor support. Do not harass, threaten, doxx, contact private people at home, identify survivors or treat an accusation as a verdict. Corrections and right of reply are available.
Explore sourced cases, national data and reporting across 45 countries, or share an experience from anywhere beyond U.S. universities. People of every gender and background are welcome.
What this wall is for. Include experiences and sourced reporting beyond U.S. universities: any country, school, workplace, community or other setting.
Choose a country and setting, describe what you feel able to share and distinguish your experience from a public news source. Exact addresses, identities and location coordinates are unnecessary.
A useful submission gives broad context, an approximate date, the response you encountered and any help or change you want, without exposing a survivor.
Reader accounts are reviewed privately and need separate permission for an edited public version. The feed distinguishes reader experiences from sourced world news. Filters let readers choose the country, topic, setting and type of post.
The map shows selective editorial coverage; it does not plot private submissions or rank countries by safety. National data have different definitions and years and should not be treated as directly comparable crime totals.
There is no promised review deadline. Where a form offers email follow-up, email is optional in anonymous mode and is kept out of public posts. Your receipt reference and private key let you check progress, read private replies and withdraw the retained submission. Keep the key safe.
Public posts carry reference numbers. You can flag a post with a short explanation and optional email. Votes show reactions, not evidence or editorial approval. A donation has no influence on whether a submission is accepted.

* Italy uses a national survey that did not follow EU-GBV methodology. Categories overlap; do not add columns. Disclosure, collection methods and country context affect estimates. This is not a safety ranking or conviction table.
Survey: residents aged 16+ in England and Wales; police series: recorded offences
England and Wales only, not the whole United Kingdom. Survey prevalence and police offences have different definitions and denominators. New online offences contributed to the recorded increase; these figures are not interchangeable or conviction counts.
People aged 15 and older in Canada
Survey estimates, not police counts. The 8.6% reporting measure concerns the most serious non-intimate-partner incident and has victims as its denominator; the 2.2% prevalence includes partner and non-partner assaults. The release identifies higher prevalence among young people aged 15–24. Neither measure is a conviction rate.
Women aged 15+ in Mexico
INEGI’s survey definition spans multiple acts and school, work, community, family and partner settings. It is broader than a count of rape convictions. These are dated 2021 survey estimates, not present-year incidence.
Victims recorded in Brazil’s police data
The legal categories include children and other people protected by the vulnerable-person offence. This is the 2026 yearbook’s recorded-victim figure, not a survey estimate, all sexual violence, or convictions. The Forum compiles official security data and is independent of government.
National Femicide Registry of the Argentine Justice System
This registry concerns judicial investigations into possible gender-related killings, not 219 final guilty verdicts. Femicide is a distinct measure from sexual-assault prevalence. Direct and linked victims are separate registry categories.
Women aged 15–65 living in urban areas across Chile’s 16 regions
These values come from the urban sample, not a fully nationwide urban-and-rural combined estimate. The report separately studies rural communities in four regions. Survey responses are not court findings.
National Demographic and Family Health Survey, Peru
Source directory entry · no numerical estimate asserted.
The current national release is linked for its violence and methodology tables. Full table retrieval was blocked during this check, so no new percentage is asserted here. Read each indicator’s partnership status, age range and recall period before citing a value.
Police-recognized offences; survey respondents in Japan
The police category and survey experience are distinct and narrower than all sexual violence. The 2026 publication does not make the survey a 2026 measurement. These are offences recognized and self-reported experiences, not convictions.
Ever-married women aged 15+ in Bangladesh
The broader Bangladesh-context measure includes physical, sexual, emotional and economic violence and controlling behaviours. It must not be labelled “76% raped.” The rounded figure was verified in the primary report’s indexed text; full report retrieval was unavailable during this check.
Women covered by Indonesia’s national survey
UNFPA’s release uses an approximate fraction. It combines physical and sexual violence by partners or others; it is not a sexual-assault-only percentage or police-report count. The source’s population and survey methods govern interpretation.
Women aged 15–49 who have ever had a husband or intimate partner
The perpetrator scope is the current or most recent husband/partner. It does not cover every non-partner assault or every age group. The sexual measure overlaps the combined measure; do not add them.
Women aged 15–49 who have ever had a husband or intimate partner
The current/most recent partner measure includes several forms of harm, not sexual violence alone. The figure was checked in the official report page’s indexed summary; the full page timed out during this check. This historical survey is not a 2026 incident count.
Women aged 18+ in South Africa
Values are from the report’s table on any physical/sexual violence, not a police series or convictions. Categories overlap and must not be added. Primary report table values were available in indexed text; the full PDF could not be retrieved during this check.
Sexual-assault victims recorded by Australian police
Police records depend on reporting and recording. These figures do not measure all assaults or convictions. The source’s latest-release link can advance to a newer edition; the figures here are explicitly the 2025 edition released 3 September 2026.
The cohort of sexual assaults reported to New Zealand Police in 2023
Both percentages use all reported assaults in the cohort as their denominator, not only court charges. Some proceedings continued after the two-year cutoff. No conviction by the cutoff does not establish that a report was false or that the matter is permanently unresolved.
A survey estimates experiences in a defined population. A police count includes only recorded offences or victims. A judicial register may track investigations before a verdict. A conviction rate needs a specified cohort, denominator and observation window; New Zealand’s record explains these explicitly.
This is a selected source collection checked on the date above, not a continuously updated database or a claim to cover every country. Older surveys remain labelled with their data period. Where retrieval was incomplete, the record says so. Countries with more disclosed or recorded incidents are not automatically less safe. Sources mostly study women; that does not imply people of other genders are unaffected or unwelcome here.

These published estimates are global context and stay visible when the wall is filtered. They are not the number of reports sent to this website, nor a country safety ranking.
WHO’s 2025 release estimates lifetime physical or sexual intimate-partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both. The analysis draws on data from 2000–2023.
WHO estimates women affected since age 15. This is a distinct measure, substantially underreported and overlapping with the broader lifetime estimate. Do not add the two figures.
UN Women and UNODC estimate killings by intimate partners or family members. This is a homicide measure, not sexual-assault prevalence or all gender-related killings.
UNICEF’s 2024 release estimates more than 370 million girls and women experienced rape or sexual assault before age 18. The table uses UNICEF’s regional groups, which differ from the navigation regions.
| UNICEF region | Estimated number | Estimated prevalence |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-Saharan Africa | 79 million | 22% |
| Eastern & South-Eastern Asia | 75 million | 8% |
| Central & Southern Asia | 73 million | 9% |
| Europe & Northern America | 68 million | 14% |
| Latin America & Caribbean | 45 million | 18% |
| Northern Africa & Western Asia | 29 million | 15% |
| Oceania | 6 million | 34% |
The contact-violence data come from representative surveys in 120 countries and areas collected during 2010–2022. UNICEF also estimates 240–310 million boys and men experienced rape or sexual assault before age 18; coverage is less complete and methods differ. Figures are rounded. They do not measure crimes reported, cases resolved or convictions.
Definitions, survey coverage, time periods and willingness to disclose differ. Missing data does not mean zero harm. These measures cannot establish which country is safest, compare institutions fairly or calculate a global “solved case” rate. People of all genders can submit here.
Country laws, definitions of consent, reporting routes and deadlines differ. Our form is an editorial intake route; it is not a police report, legal filing or guarantee of protection. Ask a qualified local advocate or lawyer before sharing identifying or sensitive evidence. Do not upload intimate images or private evidence here.
Country-level filters include territories for navigation. Geographic groupings are broad; they do not establish sovereignty or a legal jurisdiction. We do not geolocate you.
