EN180 women (or 60 percent of all respondents) experienced sexual violence and abuse. Of 300 women surveyed, 30 percent were forced to have sexual intercourse against their will. 10 percent of women underwent anxiety and panic attacks after sexual violence, 5 percent of the respondents thought about committing suicide. 70 percent of women would like to talk to psychologists or psychotherapists, physicians, doctors, forensic experts. The medical staff are the most truste. Women don’t have sufficiently clear and available information about violence, especially about sexual violence. [Extract, p. 66]
