Women Commit More Sexual Violence / Harassment - Victor Ndon

A recent comment on X claimed that “Women are more pedophiliac and sexual predators than men.” This statement is not supported by data and can contribute to harmful misconceptions about sexual violence.

Statistics show that the majority of sexual abuse cases, particularly those involving children, are perpetrated by men. While female perpetrators do exist, they are far less common. Spreading claims that women are more likely to commit these crimes can divert attention from addressing the broader issue of male-perpetrated sexual violence.

It’s important to approach discussions about sexual abuse with accurate information. Misinformation can lead to victim-blaming and distract from efforts to support survivors and hold perpetrators accountable. Understanding the reality of sexual violence is crucial for effectively addressing the problem and ensuring justice for all victim.
