Web-based help-seeking for intimate partner sexual violence

该项目旨在了解妇女遭受亲密伴侣性暴力的经历，确定她们寻求帮助的需求，并探索利用互联网作为一种支持手段。尽管十分之一的澳大利亚女性遭受过男性伴侣的性暴力，这对她们的健康和生活质量造成了严重影响，但人们对性关系中的强奸、殴打、胁迫和威胁等性虐待行为知之甚少。该项目将为妇女提供一个以证据为基础、了解创伤的网站，帮助她们说出遭受的虐待，提供初步支持，并促进寻求帮助。该项目希望改善妇女的安全、生活质量和与社区的联系，提高认识并减少亲密伴侣性暴力对社会造成的损失。

This project aims to understand women’s experiences of sexual violence perpetrated by an intimate partner, identify their help-seeking needs, and explore the use of the internet as a means of support. Although one in ten Australian women have experienced sexual violence by a male partner, with severe effects on wellbeing and quality of life, sexually abusive behaviours such as rape, assault, coercion and threats within relationships are poorly understood. The project will provide women with an evidence-based, trauma-informed website that will help them name the abuse, provide initial support and promote help-seeking. This project expects to improve women’s safety, quality of life and connection to the community, raise awareness and reduce the costs of intimate partner sexual violence to society.
