About 19.3% of women have been raped at least once in their lives, according to survey results released Friday from the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

About 2% of men have been raped during their lifetimes, according to the survey of conducted in the USA in 2011.

Additionally, an estimated 43.9% of women and 23.4% of men experienced other forms of sexual violence during their lives. And 15.2% of women and 5.7% of men have been a victim of stalking.

"Consistent with previous studies, the overall pattern of results suggest that women, in particular, are heavily impacted over their lifetime. However, the results also indicate that many men experience sexual violence, stalking, and, in particular, physical violence by an intimate partner."



According to the survey, many victims of sexual abuse were victimized at a young age. Perhaps one of the most striking stats is that among women victims of completed rape, about 79% were first raped before age 25, and 40% before age 18.

"A substantial proportion of U.S. female and male adults have experienced some form of sexual violence, stalking, or intimate partner violence at least once during their lifetimes," the survey said.
