Rape remains a controversial issue with a few victims reporting experience because of the myriad of societal perception, prolonged steps in pursuing a case to logical conclusion of securing conviction, as well as psychological and physical residuals of the experience. Data in Nigeria is therefore hard to come by as it is diminished and often not available.
To assess the pattern and trend of rape cases in a State in Nigeria.
A descriptive and retrospective study where data records on socio-demographics and case specifics was collected on victims of sexual assault that reported to DFID/ PATHS 2 supported Tamar Sexual Assault Centre between 2014 and 2016 after which it was analysed and presented in bar charts.
The yearly prevalence varied for the different age groups studied with the highest prevalence noted for 13 years and above (175,200,255) over the 3 years of 2014, 2015 and 2016 studied. The reported cases also improved over the studied years with rates of 0.47, 0.96 and 0.5 respectively.
The yearly comparison and baseline data show that the centre's establishment caused an improvement in rape case reporting and follow-up.
强奸仍然是一个有争议的问题，由于社会观念的多样性、将案件追查至定罪的合理结论所需的漫长步骤以及该经历带来的心理和身体后遗症，只有少数受害者报告相关经历。因此，尼日利亚的数据很难获取，因为其数量减少且往往不可得。
评估尼日利亚某州强奸案件的模式和趋势。
进行一项描述性回顾性研究，收集2014年至2016年期间向国际发展部/ PATH 2支持的添马舰性侵犯中心报告的性侵犯受害者的社会人口统计学和案件具体数据记录，之后进行分析并以柱状图呈现。
在所研究的不同年龄组中，年患病率各不相同，在研究的2014年、2015年和2016年这3年中，13岁及以上年龄组的患病率最高（分别为175、200、255）。在所研究的年份中，报告的案件数量也有所增加，比率分别为0.47、0.96和0.5。
年度比较和基线数据表明，该中心的设立使强奸案件的报告和后续跟进情况有所改善。
