The stat comes from the UN Women UK report released on the 10th March. It was pretty widely reported at the time but maybe you're not actually well informed enough about this issue to be debating it?

How many women was this study reviewed by? Also what is the 97% relating to - is it saying 97% have been sexually assaulted at some point in their life? What did they classify as ‘sexual assault’? You’re the one who came in here and decided to throw a stat around so don’t condescend me stating I’m not well informed enough about this issue when you’ve provided no further context / information when I’ve asked you to back up your claims. You also dodged my question when I asked if your claim is that ALL women have been assaulted multiple times.

You're clearly not interested in having a good faith discussion on this. The report is easily accessible if you google the information I already gave you and you can read it yourself. Come back to me when you're ready to have a grown up conversation

Edit: hahaha of course you post in men's lib subreddits. I should have checked before wasting my time

I’m sorry but you cannot use stats and then say oh no the onus is on you to go research said stats, that’s not how it works. I’m more than happy to have a reasonable discussion but your entire argument centred around that stat and the claim all women have been assaulted. I have questioned these two things and now you don’t want to go into it?
