Violence against women constitutes an infringement of fundamental rights, not only affecting the victims but the whole society itself. According to a survey published in 2014 by the FRA (European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights), of 42,000 women from the 28 European Union Member States, 1 out of 10 women (10%) has suffered any kind of sexual violence since they were 15 years old; 1 out of 20 women (5%) has been raped after the age of 15; and 1 out of 5 women surveyed (20%) had suffered indecent touching against their will. In addition, 1 out of 4 women (25%) did not report the incident of sexual violence to the police [1]. The objective of our study consists in compiling data from patients who came to the maternity emergency room of Miguel Servet University Hospital (a tertiary-level hospital, reference in Aragón) for sexual assault and to describe the victim and assailant’s characteristics as well as the context of the incident to identify possible risk factors associated.
