Counselling centre for victims of sexualised violence
Sexual violence includes everything from unpleasant looks, to undesired physical contact, to rape. Sexual violence against children and young people is especially serious.
Breaches of sexual self-determination have penal consequences. The victims suffer from serious emotional wounds. Victims of sexual violence must therefore be protected and supported in the processing of their experiences. Sexual violence always represents a violation of a person’s personal rights, it is an attack on the right to self-determination and on human dignity.
