SEXUAL VIOLENCE AS A FORM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of sexual violence as one of the most latent and persistent forms of domestic violence. The relevance of this is reinforced by the growing level of domestic violence in the minds of the military camp, which is associated with increased stress, socio-economic instability, induced displacement of the population and travails the movements of family members in an enclosed space. The scientific and legislative approaches to the understanding of sexual violence are reviewed. As a result of a detailed analysis of scientific definitions, the further development of its main signs has been revealed, which indicate the legal, social and psychological essence of this phenomenon. An attempt has been made to describe the common and significant signs of sexual and psychological violence, which, according to the author’s interpretation, can be called inter-qualifying signs. The author has formulated an important concept of “sexual violence” in the context of domestic violence, which creates the basis for further investigation, disaggregation of effective mechanisms for preventing and countering sexual violence in the family and ensuring comprehensive protection of rights suffered people. It has been established that sexual violence in the context of domestic violence can come in all kinds and forms, it is covered by a wide range of acts that encroach on the freedom of the state and the lack of freedom of the individual, zokrema: like not associated with penetration into the body of another individual; associated with vaginal, anal or oral penetration into the body of another person with the genitals or any other object, without the voluntary consent of the patient (grabbing); encouragement of an individual to engage in an act of a sexual nature with another individual; dissolute events.
