Abstract(s)
Face à crescente preocupação relativamente à violência sexual contra as mulheres nos
campus universitários internacionalmente, o presente estudo teve como objectivo estudar a
incidência de violência sexual nas estudantes universitárias portuguesas, uma vez que não
existe investigação em Portugal com este objectivo específico.
A presente investigação envolveu um total de 108 participantes, estudantes
universitários, com idades a partir dos 17 anos, que preencheram um questionário on-line.
Os resultados foram elaborados apenas com a amostra que obteve resultados de
incidência de violência sexual, e demonstram que a mesma é de 12%, sendo que desta
amostra a esmagadora maioria pertence ao sexo feminino. Mais de metade da amostra esteve
envolvido em relações sexuais não consentidas com alguém por pressão psicológica ou
ameaças pela parte da outra pessoa, e uma grande parte dos participantes teve relações sexuais
não consentidas enquanto estava sob o efeito de álcool. Os perpetradores da violência sexual
são quase sempre conhecidos da vítima. A grande maioria dos participantes nunca pediu ajuda
após o ataque, e nunca ouviu nenhuma apresentação ou palestra sobre violência sexual ou
violência no namoro.
Pode concluir-se que é urgente existir intervenção no sentido de prevenir estes
ataques, formando os jovens para que desde cedo saibam compreender o significado de
consentimento e para que aprendam a lidar com a rejeição, centrando desta forma a prevenção
no agressor em vez de ser centrada na vítima.
Given the growing concern about sexual violence against women in international university campuses, this study aimed to study the incidence of sexual violence in the Portuguese university students, since there is no research in Portugal with this specific objective. This research involved a total of 108 participants, university students, aged from 17 years, who completed an online questionnaire. The results were drawn only with the sample that obtained results of incidence of sexual violence, wich is 12%, and from this sample the overwhelming majority are female. More than half of the sample was involved in sexual intercourse without consent with someone for psychological pressure or threats on the part of the other person, and a large part of the participants had sexual intercourse without consent whilst intoxicated. Perpetrators of sexual violence are often known to the victim. The vast majority of participants never asked for help after the assault, and were never present at any presentation or lecture on sexual violence or dating violence. It can be concluded that it is urgent to intervene to prevent these attacks, forming young people early to understand the meaning of consent and to learn to deal with rejection in a positive way, focusing thereby the prevention in the aggressor instead of the victim.
