本研究从交叉的角度探讨了对晚年妇女的性侵犯形式，重点是熟人关系。定性研究进行了深入的访谈与18名福利和医疗保健专业人士谁治疗性侵犯幸存者。出现了与小武器和轻武器当地语言识别有关的五种形式（主题）：（1）在老龄化带来的变化背景下的强迫性性攻击，（2）基于年龄歧视和性别歧视的社会结构的蔑视和性侮辱，（3）在多代人背景下侵犯老年妇女的尊严，（4）终身乱伦关系和对老年妇女的性侵犯;（5）乱伦关系中的性接触和暴露癖。所揭示的形式强调了老年妇女在家庭关系中受到她们认识的犯罪者性侵犯的脆弱性。这些表格可有助于填补目前在小武器和轻武器生活费方面的知识空白，并提高司法系统对受到性侵犯的老年妇女的关注度。此外，它们还可以帮助执法人员、卫生和福利专业人员以及决策者提高对小武器和轻武器使用寿命的普遍认识，并改善对这一现象的应对措施。
This study addresses forms of sexual assault against women in late life (SAWLL) from an intersectional perspective, focusing on acquaintance relationships. Qualitative research was conducted, using in-depth interviews with 18 welfare and healthcare professionals who treated sexual assault survivors. Five forms (themes) emerged, relevant to the identification of SAWLL: (1) Coercive sexual assault in the context of changes brought on by old age, (2) contempt and sexual humiliation based on ageist and sexist social constructions, (3) violation of the older women's dignity in the multigenerational context, (4) life-long incestuous relationships and sexual assault against older women and (5) erotic touching and exhibitionism in caregiving relationships. The revealed forms emphasise the vulnerability of older women who are sexually assaulted in domestic relationships by perpetrators whom they know. These forms can contribute to filling the existing gap in knowledge on SAWLL and promote the visibility of sexually assaulted older women in the justice system. In addition, they can aid law enforcement, health and welfare professionals and policymakers to advance the general understanding of SAWLL as well as improve the response to this phenomenon.
