This. Catholic schools and other environments still tend to be more segregated by gender, leading to limited opportunities. They also tend to chaperone the girls more than the boys.
Abuse of Catholic girls does exist, one example being the infamous Magdalene Laundries of Ireland. That abuse was mostly physical and emotional, not sexual, and those girls who were sexually abused generally suffered that abuse before their arrival at the Laundries (sometimes impregnated and then blamed and sent there as punishment for it. Ick, Ick, Ick.)
