Introduction
Forcing a person to engage in sexual intercourse or sexual contact without their consent is known as sexual assault or rape. Rape is a traumatic event that has psychological and physical impacts on the victim. However, if the victims are made to meet officials, doctors, and policemen who seem to understand the fragility of the matter and look after the victim's psychological needs, it might help them to recover from the trauma.
Explanation of Solution
Suggested response
Victims of rape tend to go through a myriad of difficulties, such as accepting and coping with the trauma, being reluctant in telling someone about the assault, how to act and what steps to take. Most of all, the way they are received by outsiders is of utmost importance to them. Therefore, the way police, doctors and court officials treat them can be useful in helping the victim to recover from the traumatic event.
A few things that can be done by police officials, doctors and other officials to ensure that the victim's psychological needs are met are:
- The doctor, in such a case, is the first person a victim would contact. Therefore, they are responsible for providing primary health service, counseling and referring the person for psychological analysis.
- Police departments should have specialized cells and training given to police officers on how to handle sensitive cases of sexual assault.
- Learning how traumatic events like rape or assault can affect someone's brain and psyche.
- Emphasising on support, empathy and listening skills.
- Should make the victim feel at ease so they can talk about the event without hesitation.
- Should not demand victims to come to police stations or forcefully talk about the event unless they are comfortable in doing so.
- Treat the victim with respect and keep their personal opinions and beliefs to themselves.
- Courts should also receive the victim seeking justice with respect and dignity; they should hear their plea and give them support and guidance
