abstract="Sexual violence is a significant global problem. The unequal power between men and women is considered to be the main reason for violence against women. Women who are exposed to sexual assault are great consumers of medical and social care. The Swedish government has reacted to the problem by establishing an expert center for battered and raped women. The center has three main tasks: treatment in a professional and empathic way; research into and development of medical and psychosocial treatment of patients and the underlying causes of sexual violence; education and information of the general public.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
