Entrevista semiestructurada para la exploración de la violencia sexual sobre las mujeres en la relación de la pareja (EVS)

Abstract

Sexual violence in intimate partner context is a serious problem that is experienced by a large number of women. However, its detection is difficult becasuse the absence of social recognition. This kind of violence occurs frequently linked to other abuse types, however we realize that various interview protocols that have been published to explore it, don’t examine it or examine it superficially. In addition, some of  women who are abused, are not aware of this, neither its gravity nor real impact on themselves. Therefore, our purpose is to create a tool for collecting on information about intimate partner sexual violence and  to help professionals in detecting this kind of violence. So, we have relied on a comprehensive review of the scientific and professional literature and our own experience. As a result we present the Entrevista Semiestructurada para la Exploración de la Violencia Sexual sobre las Mujeres en la Relación de Pareja (EVS), we hope to be useful for professionals who work with women who are victims of this abuse.
