Sexual violence across gender identities and sexual orientations: a stratified, population-based, cross-sectional study among young people aged 16–29 years in Sweden

In summary, our study reveals inequities in lifetime exposure to four types of sexual violence across gender identities and sexual orientations, revealing insights into the vulnerability of bisexual, lesbian, and heterosexual women, gay and bisexual men, as well as nonbinary individuals. To eliminate sexual violence in Sweden, measures involving stakeholders at all levels are needed, focusing on tailored prevention efforts and inclusive policies that address the vulnerabilities of these groups while promoting equity for all young people.
