被禁止的性行为与性暴力

性暴力: 强奸: 小结 2

无论强奸被定义得如何的宽泛或狭义，无论强奸的统计数据如何地可靠或不可靠，大家都有一个普遍一致的看法：减少这类性暴力的最好方法就是预防。

显而易见，在中学和大学里普及性教育，对医师、护士、社会工作者、心理学家、婚姻与家庭咨询师和神职人员的性学培训，甚至对警察的性学培训，是能够极大地为预防强奸做出贡献的。那些懂得自己的性（sexuality）及其所具有的含义的个人可能更容易识别危险的处境，并因而会避免受到人身侵害。无论如何，那些主动上门帮助受害人的人员需要懂得性暴力的发生原因和方式。他们必须要考虑到每一个伤害案件的心理原因或动机，并且必须知道每一个伤害案例对所涉及的当事人的性健康可能意味着什么。

出于这种见识的考虑，许多机构现在不仅正在向各个领域的专业人员，而且也正在向普通大众提供大量的相关信息。虽然这些信息不可能帮助单个的受害人，但是它们确实能让人在互联网上链接到其它有用的机构网址[1]，并因而对预防强奸和其它性暴力做出重要的贡献。

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence

Sexual Violence: Rape: Summary 2

No matter how widely or narrowly a rape may be defined, no matter how reliable or unreliable the rapes statistics may be, there is general agreement that the best way of reducing this kind of sexual violence is prevention.
Obviously, general sex education in schools and colleges and the sexological training of physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, marriage and family counselors, clergy, and, indeed, the police, can greatly contribute to rape prevention. Individuals who understand their own sexuality and that of others may more easily recognize a dangerous situation and thus avoid an assault. In any event, those who are called upon to help rape victims need to understand the causes and forms of sexual violence. They have to consider the psychosocial context of each case and must know what it may mean to the individual’s sexual health.
Acting on this insight, a number of organizations are now offering a great deal of relevant information not only to professionals in various fields, but also to the general public. While they cannot help individual victims, they do provide links to other useful addresses and thus make an important contribution to the prevention of rape and other forms of sexual violence.
