Research across different regions highlights significant gaps between the occurrence of domestic and sexual violence and the rates at which these incidents are reported to authorities. In the United States, CDC data indicates that nearly one in four women will experience severe physical violence from an intimate partner, with over 43.5 million women reporting experiences including stalking and sexual violence. Despite these figures, Bureau of Justice Statistics data shows that between 2006 and 2015, police were notified in only about 56% of estimated annual nonfatal domestic violence victimizations. Studies in Spain and Mexico show similar patterns of underreporting. In Spain, research published in Frontiers in Public Health found that only 1.9% of victims of drug-facilitated sexual assault filed formal police or judicial reports. In Mexico, ENSU data indicates that 8.6% of urban households reported experiencing domestic violence, with 25.5% of those households including minors as victims. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-25: Studies highlight low reporting rates of sexual and domestic violence Studies in Spain and Mexico reveal significant underreporting of drug-facilitated sexual assault and domestic violence, with high rates of unreported incidents in both regions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/studies-highlight-low-reporting-rates-of-sexual-and-domestic-violence ### 2026-10-10: Domestic violence reporting rates remain low in the United States CDC data shows nearly 25% of US women experience intimate partner physical violence, yet many incidents go unreported to police. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/domestic-violence-reporting-rates-remain-low-in-the-united-states --- Cite as: Global trends in violence reporting rates.
