Overview

Estimates across the UK suggest that 90% of all rapes and sexual assaults are carried out by abusers known to the victim. This statistic includes partners and ex-partners. This module will highlight the links between experiences of domestic abuse and sexual violence, exploring the prevalence of sexual violence as a mechanism of domestic abuse.

Aims

By the end of the session, delegates will be able to:

• Identify the links between experiences of domestic abuse and sexual violence, including the prevalence of sexual violence as a mechanism of domestic abuse
• Recognise the impacts of sexual violence on victim-survivors and how these can present an additional barrier to seeking help and support
• Outline how to respond appropriately and sensitively, including enabling access to relevant specialist support
