Nonconsensual intercourse: reports and survey context

2025 police data; fiscal-year 2023 survey, in the 2026 white paper

Police-recognized offences; survey respondents in Japan

Definition, limits & original source

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.

Links were checked for published service information, not tested by placing calls. Hours, eligibility and services can change. Before sharing identifying details, ask about confidentiality, mandatory reporting, costs and language support. For urgent danger or medical needs, use local emergency services if safe.

You choose your next step.

You can seek support without submitting an account to us. A local advocate can explain medical care, evidence preservation, independent advice and available reporting routes. Ask which conversations are confidential and which may trigger reporting duties, especially if you are under 18.

Reporting to police, an employer or an institution is different from sharing with this editorial team. Laws, deadlines and procedures depend on your location. We do not automatically contact authorities or institutions.

Write in the language most comfortable for you. Translation and response time are not guaranteed. Private follow-up needs only your receipt key; email is optional. Do not upload confidential evidence here.
