摘要

自 2022 年 2 月俄罗斯发动战争以来,生活在乌克兰的人们面临着战争罪的证据,包括俄罗斯侵略者对乌克兰公民实施的性暴力。在大多数武装政治冲突中,士兵的性暴力都被定义为战争武器。它是敌人羞辱个人和社区的象征。当男人们在前线战斗时,他们的亲人却在无人保护的情况下遭受侵犯。战时最普遍的性暴力形式包括强奸、强迫卖淫、强迫怀孕、性暴力威胁、强迫目睹性虐待、强迫堕胎、切割生殖器官、性奴役和强迫裸体。性暴力受害者会遭受严重的心理创伤和身体痛苦,出现创伤后应激障碍、心理健康问题,并可能试图自杀。由于性暴力在乌克兰社会仍然是一种禁忌,向受害者提供援助的问题变得更加复杂。遭受过性暴力的人,主要是妇女,往往害怕并羞于向专业人士寻求帮助。社会工作者通常是为受害者提供社会心理支持的专业人员。然而,对于乌克兰社会工作者来说,这类工作相对较新。在政府服务机构和公共组织中为战争性暴力受害者工作的社会工作者需要更多的干预知识,以了解如何为战争性暴力受害者提供有效的社会心理支持。为了解决这个问题,作者对从事社会服务并接触战争受害者的社会工作专业人员(n = 43)进行了一系列专家访谈。社会工作者和幸存者的经历有助于发现受害者的问题,并帮助社会工作者有效地开展工作。

Psychosocial Support for Victims of Sexual Violence During the War in Ukraine: Challenges for Social Work

Since February 2022, when Russia started the war, people living in Ukraine face evidence of war crimes, including sexual violence committed by Russian aggressors against Ukrainian citizens. Sexual violence by soldiers has been defined as a weapon of war in most armed political conflicts. It is a symbol of the enemy’s humiliation of individuals and communities. While men are fighting at the frontlines, their loved ones are being violated while no one can protect them. The most prevalent forms of sexual violence in wartime include rape, forced prostitution, forced pregnancy, threats of sexual violence, forced witnessing of sexual abuse, forced abortion, genital mutilation, sexual slavery, and forced nudity. Victims of sexual violence suffer serious psychological trauma and physical pain, experience post-traumatic stress disorders, develop mental health problems, and may attempt suicide. The problem of providing assistance to the victims is further complicated by the fact that sexual violence remains a taboo in Ukrainian society. People who have suffered from it, mostly women, are often scared and ashamed to seek help from professionals. Social workers are the professionals who generally provide psychosocial support to the victims. However, for Ukrainian social workers, this type of work is relatively new. Social workers working in governmental services and public organizations for the victims of war-related sexual violence need additional knowledge of intervention of how to offer effective psychosocial support for the victims of war sexual violence. To address the issue, the authors conducted a series of expert interviews with social work professionals (n = 43) who work in social services and meet people victimized in war. The experiences of social workers and of the survivors can help to identify the problems of the victims and can help social workers work effectively.
