Nearly a fifth of young people in the Netherlands are victims of domestic violence

Last year, over 350,000 young people aged 16 to 25 in the Netherlands were victims of domestic violence. That is 18 percent of this age group. They faced abuse like physical violence, coercive control by a family member, or stalking by an ex, among other things. Most victims talked to someone about the violence, but few reached out to the authorities for help, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reported on Monday.
