The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognised that two of the major risk factors for child sexual violence are age and gender (Krung et al, 2002: 66). This report will analyse what impacts these two equality grounds have on the different characteristics of sexual violence, as disclosed by survivors of child sexual violence attending RCCs in 2011.

While alcohol has not been shown to cause sexual violence, it is likely to contribute to the situational context in which sexual violence is more likely to occur. Given the propensity for binge drinking among youth in Ireland, coupled with lack of sexual and social experience and the prevalence of rape-supportive attitudes noted among Irish youth, the relationship between youth, alcohol consumption and sexual violence requires consideration.
