Examination of Sexual Assault Victim

Abstract

Sexual abuse is a serious infringement of one’s rights to health and protection. It is not only a particular nation’s problem but has become global public health issue. Sexual abuse until 1970 was restricted to poor economy class of people only and was rarely found. Now the cases are seen in all socioeconomic groups. Sexual abuse includes genital–genital, genital–rectal, oral–genital, hand–breast, hand–rectal, and hand–genital contact, exposure of sexual anatomy, forced view of sexual anatomy, and using a victim in the production of pornography or showing pornography.
