53. The CDC data is not global data. It is US data. Perhaps the title of the CDC report might will help about that:

also, read the methodology section:

Methods

The National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Survey (NISVS) is an ongoing, nationally
representative random-digit-dial (RDD) telephone
survey of adults in the United States
using a dualframe
approach that includes both landline and
cell phones. Noninstitutionalized, English- and/or
Spanish-speaking adult women and men (18 years
and older) are surveyed. For this study, the survey
was administered twice between September 2016
and May 2017 (i.e., the 2016/2017 period). A total of
15,152 women and 12,419 men completed the survey.
The response rate was 7.6% (American Association
for Public Opinion Research [AAPOR] Response
Rate 4) and the cooperation rate was 58.6% (AAPOR
Cooperation Rate 4).15 More details about the survey
instrument and the methods used to collect the
2016/2017 NISVS data can be found in Kresnow et al.16
Survey sections were reorganized and several survey
questions were revised for the 2016/2017 NISVS
administration as detailed in Kresnow et al.16 Specific
to the sexual violence content of the survey, made
to penetrate items for female participants were
removed due to very low prevalence in previous
survey administrations. In addition, more specific
data were captured about the impact of sexual
violence: respondents were asked about the impacts
of sexual coercion (pregnancy [females only] and
sexually transmitted infections), and of rape and
made to penetrate combined (fear, concern for
safety, pregnancy [females only], sexually transmitted
infections, and physical injury). The perpetrator
category of “brief encounter” (which includes
someone met at a party, on a blind date, or online,
someone known by sight, a taxi driver, or a service
provider) is now presented as a specific perpetrator
category in the data tables; this perpetrator type
was previously subsumed under the “acquaintance”
category. Victims may have had multiple perpetrators;
therefore, the perpetrator categories within the tables
and figures do not sum to 100%. Finally, age at first
victimization findings are presented for additional
subtypes of sexual violence beyond rape and made to
penetrate, including sexual coercion and unwanted
sexual contact. Additional details about revisions to
the 2016/2017 NISVS instrument are described in
Kresnow et al.16 Comparisons to previous data years
are not recommended given the changes made in
the 2016/2017 administration compared to previous
NISVS data years.
Analyses were conducted using SAS (version 9.4)
and SAS-callable SUDAAN (version 11.1). Weighted
prevalence estimates and 95% confidence intervals
were produced separately for females and males,
along with total number of victims. Chi-square
tests were conducted to ascertain the association
between health conditions of interest and sexual
violence victimization with a p-value of 0.05 set as
the threshold for establishing statistical significance.
Estimates with relative standard errors > 30% or
a numerator sample count < 20 were considered
statistically unstable and not reported.


I am done here and have shown conclusively that I was correct in my original reply.
