Clinical Trial Summary

According to the figures for the last three years collected from the Indian Ocean Regional Health Observatory, it appears to be about twice as many voluntary terminations of pregnancy on the island of Reunion compared with France metropolitain region. Furthermore, the overseas section in 2002, which looked at violence against women of all types in three different spheres of life (the marital sphere, the workplace and public spaces), tends to show a much higher incidence of sexual violence than in metropolitain France. This trend seems to be confirmed by the overseas section of the VIRAGE survey started in 2018 on the island. Furthermore, data found in a qualitative study conducted in Ile de France in 2013 seems to demonstrate a more frequent use of abortion among patients who are victims of sexual violence. Thus, thiçs study will consist in evaluating the impact of sexual violence on the incidence of voluntary termination of pregnancy in Reunion Island.
