悉尼大学最新研究发现，澳大利亚儿童遭受性暴力和家庭暴力的情况明显加剧。1 其中，10至17岁男孩的性侵案件自2021年后急剧上升15.7%。1 同期，9岁以下女孩的性侵案件以年均2.8%的速率上升，10至17岁女孩的性侵案件年均增长4.2%。1
这项基于澳大利亚多个国家机构数据库十年数据分析的研究已发表于JAMA Network Open期刊，并于周三公布。1
研究团队将暴力事件的加速上升与多重社会因素相关联。1 澳大利亚收入不平等在2021年后达到20年最高点，同年政府的JobKeeper支付计划于3月结束。1 研究人员指出，经济压力加剧、在线男性沙文主义社群扩张等因素对暴力趋势有推波助澜的作用。1
研究主笔Lucy Grummitt博士强调，"暴力侵害儿童是人权问题，不应该由一个政府部门来监测"。1 此外，新州和昆士兰州存在一年儿童虐待数据缺失，影响统计的完整性。1
A University of Sydney study has revealed a sharp increase in sexual and family violence against Australian children following the pandemic, with particularly alarming trends emerging among young people in recent years.1 Research analyzing a decade of data from multiple national institutions found that sexual assault cases against girls aged under nine have risen at an annual rate of 2.8 percent, while those involving girls aged ten to seventeen have accelerated at 4.2 percent annually.1 Among boys aged ten to seventeen, sexual assault cases have surged 15.7 percent since 2021.1
The research team, led by Dr. Lucy Grummitt, attributes the escalating violence to multiple converging factors.1 Rising income inequality—which reached a two-decade high in Australia after 2021—economic pressure, and the expansion of online male-chauvinist communities have been identified as key drivers of the trend.1 The JobKeeper payment program, a pandemic support scheme, ended in March 2021, coinciding with the acceleration in violence rates.1 Dr. Grummitt stated that "violence against children is a human rights issue and should not be monitored by a single government department," underscoring the need for comprehensive, coordinated oversight across agencies.1
The findings, published this week in JAMA Network Open, also highlight significant data gaps in the national monitoring system, with New South Wales and Queensland lacking complete child abuse records for one year during the study period.1
