Occurrence Of Sexual Violence Research Articles

Incidence of sexual violence among recently arrived asylum-seeking women in France: a retrospective cohort study.

The prevention of sexual violence (SV) occurring shortly after arrival in host countries towards female asylum seekers requires knowledge about its incidence. We aimed to determine the incidence of SV and its associated factors during the past year of living in France among asylum-seeking females who had arrived more than one year earlier but less than two years. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a life-event survey of asylum-seeking females who had been registered in southern France by the Office for Immigration for more than one year but less than two. The primary outcome was the occurrence of SV during the past year, weighted by the deviation in age and geographical origin of our sample from all females registered. The nature of SV was noted, and associated factors were explored by a logistic regression model. Between October 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022, 273 females were included. Eighty-four females experienced SV during the past year of living in France (26.3% weighted [95% CI, 24-28.8]), 17 of whom were raped (4.8% weighted [95% CI, 3.7-6.1]). Being a victim of SV prior to arrival in France (202, 75.7%) was associated with the occurrence of SV after arrival (OR=4.6 [95% CI, 1.8-11.3]). Lack of support for accommodation was associated with se.xual assault (OR=2.6 [95% CI, 1.3-5.1]). The months following arrival in a European host country among asylum-seeking females appear to be a period of high incidence of SV; even higher for those who previously experienced SV prior to arrival. Reception conditions without support for accommodation seem to increase exposure to sexual assault. DGOS-GIRCI.

P884 Association between psychosocial factors experienced in childhood or adolescence and occurrence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in adulthood: a case-control study in Quebec, Canada

Abstract Background The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been steadily increasing worldwide and its etiology remains poorly understood. This study aims to estimate the associations between exposure to psychosocial factors in childhood or adolescence and the development of IBD in adulthood, separately for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Methods A case-control study nested in a population-based birth cohort was carried out. A total of 993 cases of Crohn's disease, 489 cases of ulcerative colitis and 914 controls born between 1970 and 1974 in Quebec, Canada, were analyzed. Sociodemographic and medical information were extracted from administrative databases. Participants filled out a questionnaire including a section on selected psychosocial factors experienced over their life course. Odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (95% CI) for the associations between psychosocial factors in childhood (0-9 years), adolescence (10-17 years) or over the full pediatric period (0-17 years), and IBD in adulthood were estimated by unconditional logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounding factors. For each association, a model including tailored covariates selected with a directed acyclic graph was estimated. The number of psychosocial factors experienced over the pediatric period was also analyzed in relation to the risk of IBD in adulthood. Results Some factors were associated with the risk of Crohn’s disease, such as sexual abuse in childhood (OR=1.58; 95% CI: 1.08-2.30) or over the full pediatric period (OR=1.39; 95% CI: 1.04-1.84). Likewise, the following factors occurring during adolescence were associated with increased odds of Crohn’s disease: parental neglect (OR=1.64; 95% CI: 1.01-2.66), the death of a loved one (OR=1.37; 95% CI: 1.02-1.85), and anxiety disorders (OR=1.66; 95% CI: 1.02-2.70). An association was identified between the experience of anxiety disorders from 0 to 17 years and ulcerative colitis in adulthood (OR=1.67; 95% CI: 1.05-2.67). Finally, exposure to three or more (vs. none) psychosocial factors from 0 to 17 years old was associated with the occurrence of Crohn's disease (OR=1.63; 95% CI: 1.13-2.36), but not ulcerative colitis (OR=0.98; 95% CI: 0.60-1.60) in adulthood. Conclusion In this study, the occurrence of sexual violence, parental neglect, the death of a loved one or anxiety disorders during childhood and/or adolescence was associated with the development of IBD in adulthood. Our results bring new light to the etiological puzzle of IBD by focusing on psychosocial factors and their accumulation during periods of vulnerability. Further studies taking into account resilience and assessing microbiota changes will be needed to confirm these results.

ABSTRACT A person with a disability regardless of the gender has an increased risk of sexual coercion and violence in various ways. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and the risk factors associated with lifetime sexual violence among people with disabilities (PWDs) in Burkina Faso. We conducted a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study carried out in four regions (Central, Central-East, Central-West and ‘Hauts Bassins’ regions) of Burkina Faso. PWDs were selected during a household survey through a two-stage random sampling technique. The prevalence of sexual violence in people disabilities was 7.4% (95%: CI 5.8–9.4). Females with disabilities were more likely than males with disabilities to report lifetime sexual violence (8.9% vs 4.9%). The place where the person usually spends time and the disability duration were significantly associated with the occurrence of sexual violence among female with disability. No significant association was found between different and sexual violence among people with disabilities. Sexual violence is frequent among PWDs in Burkina Faso. Specific policy to protect PWDs particularly women with disabilities from sexual violence is urgently needed.

Patriarki Dalam Budaya Jawa; Membangun Perilaku Pembungkaman Diri Pada Perempuan Korban Seksual Dalam Kampus

The patriarchal culture that is rooted in Indonesia, especially in the Javanese, triggers many problems, especially on relations between genders. Gender inequality in patriarchal culture plays a big role in the occurrence of sexual violence in society, including on campus. There are still many cases of sexual violence on campus that are not reported, one of the reasons is because the victims remain silent. This study aimed to examine the influence of patriarchy in Javanese culture on sexual violence victims on campus who choose to silence themselves. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with narrative review method by studying and analyzing literature from various scientific articles that are relevant to the research topic. Strong patriarchal culture in society and the trauma experienced by victims plays a big role in causing them to be reluctant to report what they have experienced and choose to silence themselves. Thus, these findings suggest that self-silencing is carried by victims to maintain interpersonal relationships, avoid conflict, and maintain physical and or psychological safety as a way of protecting oneself in a patriarchal environment.

Legal Protection for Victims of Violence against Women in the South Sudan Conflict from the Perspective of Humanitarian Law

The conflict in South Sudan has taken a toll. Not only that, the conflict also caused a very massive violence against women. The occurrence of sexual violence during the conflict in South Sudan increased due to weak state oversight. Not only women, but sexual violence also affects children. Violence against women in situations of armed conflict is generally based on the traditional view that women are property rights, and are often regarded as sexual objects. Humanitarian law represents a balance between the humanitarian needs and military needs of the States. International Law is recognized as a truly universal legal system. States and governments are obliged and responsible to respect and guarantee the human rights of each child regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, gender, and ethnicity, culture, and language, legal status, order of birth and physical or mental condition. The state and the government are also obliged and responsible for providing support for facilities and infrastructure in the implementation of child protection. Therefore this study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection in a literature review and will go deeper into the Implementation of Humanitarian Law on the protection of Women in the Sudanese Conflict.

Athlete victims of sexual violence: links to conformity to the sport ethic

In research, various reasons have been proposed to be able to understand the occurrence of sexual violence in sport. This article examines the relationships between conformity to the sport ethic norms and sexual violence among young athletes, according to sex and type of sport (individual and team). Athletes (n = 1140) from Quebec, Canada aged 13–18 years responded to an online questionnaire, which included two validated tools: a measure of conformity to the sport ethic norms (i.e. striving for distinction, self-sacrifice and refusing to accept limits) and a measure of experiences of sexual violence (i.e. by team-mates and coaches). Relationships between variables were examined using logistic regression analysis. The results show that increasing conformity to the striving for distinction norm contributes to an increase in the probability of being a victim of sexual violence from team-mates. Conformity to this norm is also associated with sexual violence by the coach, depending on the type of sport. Finally, increasing conformity to the norm of self-sacrifice increases the likelihood of experiencing sexual violence from the coach in an individual sport. These results may lead to the establishment of collective actions to influence conformity to the sport ethic norms and may pave the way for other studies to examine the factors influencing sexual violence since the phenomenon is multifactorial and little of the variance is explained by sport ethic.

Sexual Violence in the City: Space, Gender, and the Occurrence of Sexual Violence in Rotterdam

There is a need for knowledge of how the spatial features of the urban environment can shape the potential for safe streets and a gender inclusive society. This research reveals the relationship between a built environment’s spatial features, the presence of various types of people, and gender-based sexual violence in the public space of four neighborhoods in Rotterdam. Detailed sexual violence data are obtained from the police on a street resolution level for correlation with the spatial data on a micro and macro scale level (the space syntax method) and registrations regarding human behavior on streets at different time periods. Pooled Poisson regression models were created to explain the number of sexual violence reports per street and per block. The result is that there are correlations between the occurrence of sexual crimes, the number of people and women on the streets, local spatial integration, the land use of streets, and temporal aspects. Non-residential streets are safe during the day but become dangerous at night, and mixed land use is safer than mono-functional areas. A high degree of inter-visibility for entrances generates high degree of natural surveillance, resulting in greater safety on streets. A residential street with higher flow of people has fewer incidents than mono-functional commercial blocks. Commercial blocks have higher numbers of incidents at night due to the lack of natural surveillance from windows on the ground floor after shops close.

Sexual aggressions in college students: the role of alcohol and rape myths

In this paper we attempt to show the most significant aspects in the literature on sexual assaults in college students. Specifically, this review focuses on the role of alcohol and the myths or beliefs about rape, as some of these factors produce great negative impact on victims, decreasing their motivation to report incidents, and increasing self-blaming. The work is organized in three sections: a) reviewing the problem, b) the role of alcohol in the occurrence of sexual violence, and c) the influence of erroneous beliefs and myths built around the rape. Finally, some reflections are made on the efforts that must be done by research, to get a better understanding of the occurrence of sexual assaults on university population, in order to develop prevention and intervention programs more effective
