One of the most common forms of sexual violence around the world is that which is perpetrated by an intimate partner, leading to the conclusion that one of the most important risk factors for people in terms of their vulnerability to sexual assault is being married or cohabiting with a partner. Other factors influencing the risk of sexual violence include: *being female; *being young; *being a sex worker; *alcohol abuse or other substance abuse; *having previously been raped or sexually abused; *having many sexual partners; *becoming more educated and economically empowered, at least where sexual violence perpetrated by an intimate partner is concerned; *physical attractiveness; *poverty; *being incarcerated / institutionalised; *being mentally disabled ==Age== Young women are usually found to be more at risk of rape than older women.〔Acierno R et al.

Washington, DC, World Bank, 1994 (Discussion Paper No. 255).〕 According to data from justice systems and rape crisis centres in Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Peru and the United States, between one-third and two-thirds of all victims of sexual assault are aged 15 years or less.〔〔Greenfeld LA.
