Why cases of sexual abuse and gender based violence are not reported?

One reason why such cases are not reported is that the victim might feel ashamed or embarrassed of the situation as sexual abuse is often stigmatized.

Another reason is that they are afraid of the revenge of the perpetrator: they might feel that they will not be protected enough.
