Statistics should be seen as a tendency, not as a perfect truth. When a company/state does statistics, they normally take in account the possible "lies" or whatever reasons of some people who hide things. Especially on serious subjects like Violence or sexual harrasment. That's why just looking at the numbers is wrong. People should read the texts that come with said numbers. And when there is a big difference between two numbers (maltreated women (1) and maltreated men (2)), you can still see "a tendency" that should be right.
