Abstract

Sexual abuse against people with intellectual disabilities – dimensions and faces

This article is an attempt to present the phenomenon of sexual violence against people with intellectual disabilities in three dimensions or in the areas of its functioning. It presents a query of current research on the phenomenon of sexual violence against people with intellectual disability in the perspective of minimizing its significance (1), lack of credibility of people with intellectual disability (2) and experiencing violence from people with whom a person with disabilities remains in a cognitive relationship of dependence (3).
