Sexual Violence in Chile

Hi class

I will talk about a notice that I read in the Santiago times newspaper there is the link:  

http://www.santiagotimes.cl/blogs/161-matthew-owens/26483-the-unspoken-trauma-of-teenage-sexual-violence-in-chile

The notice is about the sexual violence in Chile and it published the Monday, 22 July 2013.

According to a recently released report in Chile one in every three are adolescents and they are victims of sexual violence, but in Chile still not be public politics for attend to of victims in prevention or treatment.

The article does a definition: the sexual violence (SV) and dating violence (DV). The first is the sexual violence is defined by the World Health Organization like a sexual act unsolicited and that anybody can make whiteout regard the relation between victim and murderer. The second is defined like the sexual aggression between two persons that have a relation.

Although we can think that this term only affect the females, the investigations said that some males had been victims of some type the sexual violence, in fact more males reported than females.

The girls were more propensities to report any type of sexual violence is they had been report any type of sexual violence before.

In Chile the term dating violence not is, because this translation is “violación por conocido” or “violación en cita”.

The consequence is different in each persons, but is probably that be a trauma personal.

Bye Class!
