Researchers from Complutense and Alcalá universities distinguished disclosure to friends or relatives from contact with services. Some 78.2% had told only their close social circle; 17.5% had told nobody.
Disclosure and reporting
Some 4.3% disclosed to healthcare, psychological, police or judicial services. Police or judicial disclosure forms a subset of that broader category, accounting for 1.9% of the analysed sample.
A defined study population
The analysis draws on a survey of people aged 18–35 and examines their most recent experience. The authors call for prevention that recognises opportunistic assaults and support that does not blame survivors.
Context matters
These are self-reported survey findings, not a count of every survivor in Spain.
The date refers to the linked original publication. This summary preserves the context at that date.
