What the VSSomètre responses say
Aggregated, anonymous figures from people who chose to share their answers at the end of the test. No individual answer is shown, and any group of fewer than 5 people is hidden.
Who responded?
Respondent profile. Categories with fewer than 5 people are grouped together.
Results across all respondents
Exposure level calculated for each person, from “no exposure reported” to “very high”.
Distribution of exposure levels
Comparison by sex and gender
Same indicators by declared gender. Groups of fewer than 5 people are not shown.
Distribution of levels by gender (%)
Share of people affected by each situation, at least once
The large percentage is the share of people affected at least once; the three small figures below split it (once · 2 to 5 times · more than 5 times). Guide: “2 to 5 times” groups “at least twice” and “several times a year”; “more than 5 times” groups several times a month, a week, or almost every day.
Possible legal characterisations, for information only. They show which provisions of French law a situation may relate to (hover over a name to see the article). They are neither legal advice nor a judge's decision: only the precise facts (repetition, consent, relationship with the perpetrator, place, evidence) can establish an offence. To see what applies to your own situation, take the test.
How to read these figures
Respondents volunteered: the sample is not representative of the general population and cannot be used to estimate how common violence is in France. The data are self-reported.
“Average index”: the average of the exposure scores out of 100 calculated by the VSSomètre. “Affected”: people who experienced at least one of the situations of sexism or sexual violence described in the test. For imposed sexual or intimate acts, a single reported situation is enough.
Percentages for each situation are based on the people who answered that situation. Groups of fewer than 5 people are hidden to protect anonymity.
