2002年,世界衛生組織發佈了一個論暴力與健康的報告[1],其中含有篇幅很長的一章(第6章),論及了性暴力。內容包括:

性暴力是一個嚴重而普遍的公共健康問題,它遍及全世界,每年會波及到數百萬人民。性暴力在社會、文化和經濟環境的多個運行層面由多種因素所導致。針對婦女的性暴力的核心問題是性別不平等。

該報告列舉了以下的性暴力形式:

  • l         婚內或約會關係中的強姦

    l         陌生人強姦

    l         在武裝衝突期間的有計劃有步驟的強姦

    l         包括作為報答性質的強求的性接觸在內的非意願的性求愛或性騷擾

    l         對精神或身體殘障人的性辱虐

    l         對兒童的性辱虐

    l         包括與兒童結婚在內的強迫結婚或同居

    l         否定(他人)使用避孕手段或採取其他防止性傳播疾病措施的權利

    l         強迫流產

    l         包括女性生殖器毀損和強制做處女檢查在內的針對婦女的性忠誠採取的暴力舉動

    l         以性剝削為目的的強迫賣淫和人口販賣

該報告也申明,性暴力的潛在意圖往往是加諸於被強姦者的權力欲和統治欲的表達

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence
Sexual Violence: Introduction 1
In 2002, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a report on Violence and Health which contains a lengthy chapter on sexual violence (chapter 6). It concludes:

“Sexual violence is a serious and common public health problem affecting millions of people each year throughout the world. It is driven by many factors operating in a range of social, cultural and economic contexts. At the heart of sexual violence directed against women is gender inequality.”

The report lists the following forms of sexual violence:
  • Rape within marriage or dating relationships

  • Rape by strangers
    Systematic rape during armed conflict

  • Unwanted sexual advances or sexual harassment, including demanding sex in return for favors

  • Sexual abuse of mentally or physically disabled people

  • Sexual abuse of children

  • Forced marriage or cohabitation, including the marriage of children

  • Denial of the right to use contraception or to adopt other measures to protect against sexually transmitted diseases

  • Forced abortion

  • Violent acts against the sexual integrity of women, including female genital mutilation and obligatory inspections for virginity

  • Forced prostitution and trafficking of people for the purpose of sexual exploitation

The report also states that the underlying purpose of sexual violence “is frequently the expression of power and dominance over the person assaulted”.
