These types of comments have caused 20% of the women surveyed to choose not to play. This is the fifth consecutive survey of this type to be carried out, and This is the first time that the percentage compared to the previous one decreases. In 2022, the number reached 72%, and while it is positive that these types of actions and comments are decreasing, this still means that two out of every three women suffer some digital attack.
