Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Sexual Assault Awareness Month < SRHM

July 24, 2024:

April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Over the past month we have shared relevant papers from Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters (SRHM) journal on our social media platforms, with the aim of raising public awareness about sexual assault. We have grouped these papers here for easy access. SRHM acknowledges that sexual assault is not limited to a particular group of people, but can affect individuals of different backgrounds, ages, sexualities, ethnicities, and other identities and characteristics – as can be noted from the diversity of the titles below. However, there are various intersecting identities and circumstances that may place an individual, or a particular community, at a higher risk of sexual assault.

SRHM continues to work with partners to create and participate in spaces that motivate improvements in research, policy, services and practice towards the elimiatation of sexual violence.

SRHM looks forward to participating in the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) Forum in October 2019, where we are excited to be hosting a ‘Writing for publication’ pre-conference workshop. SVRI brings together a diverse group of actors aiming to achieve a world free of violence against women and violence against children through rigorous, ethical research that will generate data and learning to drive forward evidence-based policies, strategies, services, and programmes to respond to and prevent these types of violence.

MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE AFFECTED BY SEXUAL ASSAULT. WE MUST PROTECT SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND RIGHTS AND ENSURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL LIVES A LIFE FREE FROM ASSAULT, VIOLENCE, AND COERCION.

With your support, SRHM will continue to publish research on sexual and reproductive health and rights, including papers related to sexual assault, through our peer-reviewed, open access international journal.
