Guía «Previene y actúa frente a la violencia sexual»

The Aragonese Women’s Institute (IAM) has published the guide Prevent and act against sexual violence. This is a guide that aims to make known what sexual violence is and establish general guidelines for both citizens and victims, in order to prevent and act against sexual violence.

To do this, explain what the sexual violence – any act that violates the sexual freedom of the person without their consent, even if the person is not in a position to give their consent – ​​and the different shapes in which it can occur, such as sexual harassment, sexual assault, human trafficking, genital mutilation, or the most recent: digital sexual violence.

In addition, the Guide also focuses on how sexual violence can affect the victim, both physically and psychologically, and highlights the importance of requesting professional help, no matter how much time has passed since it occurred.

It is essential to learn to recognize and identify violence against women to know how to act. In addition, the Guide proposes some measures to avoid risk situations, such as:

  1. Always react to small situations of discomfort or abuse.
  2. Don’t distrust everyone who approaches you to get to know you, but take precautions, such as not being alone or reporting the person who attacked you.
  3. Adopt some protective measures without giving up having fun or limiting your activities.
  4. Don’t feel guilty if you haven’t defended yourself aggressively.
If you are a victim of sexual violence, Comprehensive Care Centers for Victims of Sexual Violence (CAIVIS) of the Aragonese Women’s Institute are centers specialized in sexual violence that provide free services such as in-person telephone and virtual information, legal and psychological assistance and accompaniment.
