Forty percent also claim to have been beaten and beaten, and three in ten (29%) report having been victims of sexual assault and rape while growing up. These are figures from the first macro-survey on the prevalence of violence among minors, presented this Thursday by the Ministry of Youth and Children in Madrid. This is the first comprehensive snapshot of a reality that, according to Minister Sira Rego, "has been experienced behind closed doors," fostered by "a pact of silence," which the data now predicts.
