Abstract
Sexual violence against women whether in developed countries or developing countries has always presented itself as a challenge and a social anomaly. These days, the phenomenon of domestic violence still presents itself as a global problem in spite of all the developments that have been made in the industrial fields, science and technology, and the advancement of the civilizations and the cultural nature of the societies. The purpose of this study is to examine the studies and the body of work that has been done on the subject of supporting women against sexual violence. In order to prevent and to protect women against sexual violence, first, the difference between the two concepts of “being the victim of a crime and becoming complicit in that crime for women” should be clearly defined and introduced in the ways that are receptive across all cultures, second, there needs to be a commitment to the support of the female survivors of sexual violence and the necessary interactions between countries need to be further developed in order to combat this issue. The results of this study indicate that today the developments in the field of science and technology must be employed to advance the cause of justice so that the crimes can be solved with the help of science and science can pave the path towards catching the perpetrators which would, in turn, lead to the rule of law and justice being served for many of the criminals and perpetrators. Therefore, the lawmakers are required to make into law the application of highly advanced and innovative scientific methods as a way to gather credible and independent body of evidence according to which the courts can issue credible verdicts that are based on facts and to sentence the criminals to the punishments appropriate to their crimes, which would mean that despite all the issues that are present within this concept, no perpetrator is going to walk free and the rights of the victims and the survivors of the sexual violence shall not be disregarded.
