Workshop #7 – When Survivors Self-identify Sexual Assault in Intimate Partner Violence: Implications for the Field from the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative

Wednesday, August 12th @ 1:30pm

Presentation Abstract: Survivors of intimate partner violence rarely report their sexual assault to law enforcement, or even self-identify, for many reasons. What can we learn from those survivors who do self-identify, report to law enforcement, and undergo a sexual assault kit collection? Both presenters recently published in the Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment & Trauma, “Understanding intimate partner sexual assaults: findings from sexual assault kits,” along with Dr. Cyleste Collins at Cleveland State University and Dr. Daniel Flannery at Case Western Reserve University. The cases of intimate partner sexual assault (IPSA) within the unsubmitted sexual assaults kits provide a unique opportunity to learn more about this understudied and underreported form of sexual violence. There is great variation in how IPSA occurs, and both law enforcement and providers may not be adequately identifying IPSA victims. This workshop will share relevant findings and provide recommendations to improve the identification and support of IPSA survivors.
