Sexual Violence. Every employee has the right to work in an environment that is free from sexual violence and from any reprisal or threat of reprisal for the reporting of such behaviour. The parties agree to jointly co-operate to ensure that allegations of sexual violence are effectively dealt with and to ensure those who make such allegations in good faith are able to do so without fear of reprisal. Policies and procedures for the treatment of complaints of sexual violence have been developed by the Employer. The current “Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Policy” developed by the Employer will not be revised without consultation with the Union.
Sexual Violence. Sexual violence includes rape (forced oral, vaginal or anal penetration with a penis), sexual assault by penetration (forced oral, vaginal or anal penetration with an object), forced sexual acts and forced sex with others, forced prostitution and pornography, cutting or disfiguring of genitalia, refusal to practice safe sex and refusal to adhere to religious prohibitions. Findings from the 2010/2011 British Crime Survey indicate that 19% of women and 2% of men have experienced sexual assault by an intimate partner since the age of 16 (Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxx, et al, 2012).
Sexual Violence. 29.01 The Employer and Union are committed to a working and learning environment which is free of sexual violence as defined in the University policy on Sexual Violence Prevention.
Sexual Violence. Table 4 also displays the results of the sexual violence logistic regression model. All marriage practice variables showed a significant relationship to sexual violence occurrence. With a 1 Lakh increase in village dowry estimate, women were 64% more likely to experience sexual violence. With a 1 Lakh increase in village estimated brideweatlh, women were 73% less likely to experience sexual violence. Village permissibility to marry a girl to her cousin was associated with a 59% lower likelihood for a woman to experience sexual violence. Village permissibility to marry within the natal village was associated with a 32% higher likelihood of experiencing sexual violence. Married women living in South India were 155% more likely to experience sexual violence compared to married women living in the north. On the state level, as NSDP per capita increased, the likelihood for experiencing violence was lowered. Women from households classified as richer and richest on the wealth index were less likely to experience violence than the poorest households. Compared to Hindu women, Muslim women were significantly more likely and Christian women were significantly less likely to experience sexual violence. There was a negative association between age and violence. Older wives were less likely to experiencing sexual violence than younger wives. Across education levels, only women with a primary education were more likely to experience sexual violence compared uneducated and higher educated women. Those with a secondary education or higher were significantly less likely to experience violence compared to those with none. Wives involved in the work force were more likely to experience violence than those who were not working outside of the home. Among working women, those in non-manual positions experienced a higher likelihood of violence than those in manual labor jobs. Similar to other models, a younger age at first marriage was associated with a higher likelihood for experiencing sexual violence. With each additional child, the odds of a woman experiencing violence were 4% higher.

SV encompasses a range of offenses, including a completed nonconsensual sex act (i.e., rape), an attempted nonconsensual sex act, abusive sexual contact (i.e., unwanted touching), and noncontact sexual abuse (e.g., threatened sexual violence, exhibitionism, voyeurism, verbal or behavioral sexual harassment, or taking nude photographs of a sexual nature of another person without his or her consent or knowledge, or of a person who is unable to consent or refuse). All types involve victims who do not consent, or who are unable to consent or refuse to allow the act.” (CDC 2011)
