[Detecting and preventing sexual violence against people with disabilities]. / Dépister et prévenir les violences sexuelles sur les personnes en situation de handicap.

ABSTRACT

People with disabilities are more often victims of sexual violence, especially women. Dependence due to disability encourages domination and control. Studies put forward significant figures, reflecting a growing awareness of the various forms of violence and a liberation of speech, though still insufficient. Professionals and associations, backed by the law, are trying to identify and support victims.
