Some statistical information from Rape Crisis England
20% of women and 4% of men have experienced sexual assault since the age of 16, equivalent to 3.4 million female and 631,000 male victims.
Approximately 90% of those who are raped know the perpetrator prior to the offence
Only 15% report sexual violence to police. Conviction rates for rape are far lower than other crimes; only 5.7% of reported rape cases end in a conviction for the perpetrator.

Some statistical information from the Femicide Census
149 women were killed by 147 men in the UK in 2018
91 women (61%) were killed by their current or former partner
41% (37 of 91) of women killed by a partner/former partner had separated or taken steps to separate from him with 30% of them (11/37) killed within the first month and 70% (24/37) killed within the first year post separation
52% of perpetrators had previous histories of violence against the victim or other women
