本文所描述的研究的目的是检查的维度和相关性的态度对幸存者的性暴力（SV）在东部的刚果（DRC）。四个维度的态度被确定为：受害者责任，受害者诋毁，受害者的信誉，应得的。性别角色的态度代表了最显着的相关性，对幸存者的态度，在这个人群中。对幸存者的整体态度的其他显着相关因素包括目前的就业，居住省，对SV法律的知识，对性暴力和基于性别的暴力（SGBV）的信息去哪里的认识，以及在自己的社区SV的感知流行。与态度的各个方面有关的变量存在差异和共同性。例如，被调查者的性别以及与他人讨论性暴力和基于性别的暴力问题与将责任归咎于受害者的倾向仅存在显著关联。研究结果表明，改变消极的性别规范应该是旨在促进对幸存者的接受态度的努力的核心。此外，处理对幸存者态度的各个方面可能需要不同的战略。
The aim of the study described in this article is to examine the dimensions and correlates of attitudes toward survivors of sexual violence (SV) in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Four dimensions of attitudes were identified: victim responsibility, victim denigration, victim credibility, and deservingness. Gender roles attitudes represented the most significant correlate of attitudes toward survivors in this population. Other significant correlates of overall attitudes toward survivors included current employment, province of residence, knowledge about the SV law, awareness about where to go for information on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and the perceived prevalence of SV in own community. There are differences and communalities in the variables associated with the various dimensions of attitudes. For example, sex of the respondent and discussion of SGBV with others were only significantly associated with the tendency to ascribe responsibility to the victim. The findings indicate that changing negative gender norms should be central to efforts aimed at promoting accepting attitudes toward survivors. Furthermore, addressing the various dimensions of attitudes toward survivors may require different strategies.
