We found that sexual abuse is described as an action against someone else's will. Sexual abuse is also seen as more serious compared to sexual harassment. According to the women in this survey it is mainly girls who are exposed to sexual abuse but even boys are exposed. The exposed children can not be identified by background or through other factors, any child can be exposed according to the women. The women also mean that the perpetrator can be anyone but that the perpetrator usually is someone in the family. The women in this survey consider that the large amount of unrecorded sexual offenses depends on guilt and shame which the women also mean is a consequence of sexual abuse. Other consequences are anxiety, depression or a destructive behavior. However, a person who has been exposed to sexual abuse can be affected in several ways. The women mean that the consequences are individual and that it differs from person to person. (Less)
