Clinical Trial Summary

Asylum seekers women are particularly exposed to sexual violence. One in seven women in France and one in three in the world say they have been a victim of sexual violence at least once in her life.

The main objective of this study is to measure the incidence of sexual violence suffered by women in asylum proceedings during their first year of stay on French territory, in Marseille and Nice.

Description:

Introduction: One in seven women in France and one in three in the world say they have been a victim of sexual violence at least once in his life. They are exacerbated in vulnerable populations, marginalized, in post-conflict situations or population displacement.

Therefore asylum seekers women are particularly exposed to sexual violence. This is why OFPRA and the Ministry of Solidarity and Health have protected these women with regard to sexual violence, one of the priority issues for public health. Yet, the investigators do not know the proportion of women seeking asylum who have suffered violence on French soil. In addition, the investigators did not find an international study of the incidence of violence sexual abuse suffered in the host country by women seeking asylum. Objective: Determine the incidence of sexual violence that occurred in the year following the arrival on French soil of adult women in the asylum process in Marseille and Nice.

Methodology: Multicentric longitudinal observational study (Marseille and Nice) based on a historical cohort of sexual violence among women in the application process asylum. 1,800 adult women seeking asylum were registered in 2019 in Marseille and Nice. The number of subjects required is 450 women (1: 4 sample of the target population).

Data collection will be carried out by hetero-questionnaire carried out in the presence of the questioned.
