PARTICULARITIES OF SEXUAL ASSAULTS FROM THE CASUISTRY OF SIBIU COUNTY FORENSIC SERVICE BETWEEN 2010-2017
Abstract:
A report published in 2009 by the World Health Organization shows that between 15% and 71% of women who have ever been in a relationship have experienced physical or sexual violence from their partner. The prophylactic approach to these issues, as well as to other reproductive health elements, involves an interdisciplinary process with projects planned at national level - by increasing the number of primary prevention activities, a more real involvement of the education field, a faster and more dynamic response of the medical sector, but also the awareness of the legal system. We carried out a retrospective observational analytical study of genital-forensic medical examinations carried out at the request of the person within the Sibiu County Forensic Service during the period 2010-2017 - a total of 623 cases (attempted rape, sexual abuse, genital status examination, age dispensation for marriage). Among the objectives of this study, we mention: highlighting the differences between the incidence of sexual assaults within different social groups (age, sex, background), the evaluation of the ratio between the claimed sexual abuses and the ones confirmed by forensic examination, highlighting the percentage of sexual assaults that have occurred in the conditions of toxic abuse, analysis of the profile of people requesting age dispensation for marriage. The data provided by the study is relevant for the future planning of actions and projects aimed at improving the general reproductive health and sexual education level, adapted to the real needs of society at the moment.
