The following are examples of gaps that lead to under reporting:
Cultural bias in investigation and prosecution, disbelief and negative reactions to a victim's disclosure discourages them from seeking help.

Over 70% of women who have been sexually harassed at work do not report it to their supervisors because of potential blow back leading to under reporting of these cases.

Adopting specific legislation on sexual harassment is a first step towards creating workplaces that are free from sexual harassment

Creating unbiased, safe and effective redress avenues are key for survivors to tell their stories and for perpetrators to be held accountable for their crimes.

According to WHO 1 in 4 women throughout the world will experience physical or sexual violence by a partner.

In Zimbabwe 1 in 3 women have experienced sexual violence.
