    In April 2018 the Report of the Scoping Group on Sexual Violence Data recommended that a national survey on the prevalence of sexual violence should be conducted, among other things. The CSO was requested by the Minister to oversee the development and delivery of a new national survey on the prevalence of sexual violence in Ireland. The findings of the survey will inform policy in several areas and is currently under development.

    This page brings together all the information the CSO has published relating to the Sexual Violence Survey (SVS).
