Evidence Women and Girls are a Vulnerable Group (Violence, Sexual Assault, mental health)

[Wanderabout]

It would be useful to have a thread of sources of evidence that women and girls (by which I mean biological females however they identify) are a vulnerable group.

This might be useful for submissions to consultations etc

Here is a shocking summary of key UK stats on violence against women and girls, from White Ribbon:

It's a fact, rather than a stat.

Only women can become pregnant through rape. Its a huge vulnerability. Life changing.
