Sexual Violence in a Cross-Cultural Context

Sexual violence in transcultural context

Responses to sexual violence should address it not merely as harm to an individual, but in relation to culture, migration, power, gender norms, and social structures, combining universal human rights with culturally sensitive practice.

The talk explores how sexual violence should be understood and addressed in a cross-cultural context. Sexual violence is a serious human rights violation and a global public health issue; in a cross-cultural context, it must be considered not merely as an act of harm against an individual, but in relation to culture, migration, power, gender norms, religion, language, and social structures. People from different cultural backgrounds may experience violence, shame, and disclosure differently; in some communities, fears of stigma, rejection by family, loss of honor, or not being believed may be particularly prominent. Migrants and refugees may face additional barriers, such as insecure legal status, unfamiliarity with support systems, language difficulties, racism, or distrust of authorities, which can make it harder to access medical, mental health, or legal assistance. A cross-cultural approach requires acknowledging that people's experiences are shaped by both individual and social contexts, avoiding stereotypes, and approaching people with cultural humility, curiosity, and respect. Effective responses require safety, choice, trust, collaboration, and empowerment within a trauma-informed care framework, alongside the use of interpreters when needed, confidential services, awareness of migration-related vulnerabilities, and collaboration among healthcare providers, social services, the police, and civil society organizations.
