Abstract

Invaliditet i nasilje dva su međusobno povezana fenomena. Korijen se vidi kroz povijesni pregled gdje su osobe s invaliditetom često smatrane teretom društva gdje nasilje prema njima nije bio rijedak slučaj. U novije vrijeme, događaju se značajne promijene, a posebice je to vidljivo kroz napuštanje medicinskog i jačanje socijalnog modela pristupa osobama s invaliditetom. No, nasilje nad osobama s invaliditetom i dalje je vrlo prisutan problem te zahtijeva ozbiljan pristup utemeljen na znanju kao osnovi kvalitetne borbe protiv nasilja. U radu su stoga prikazani rezultati empirijskih istraživanja, ali fokusirani na poseban aspekt nasilja – seksualno nasilje. Zaključno se navodi kako su osobe s invaliditetom u znatno većem riziku od doživljavanja (seksualnog) nasilja, nego li su to osobe bez invaliditeta. Ovako nepovoljnoj poziciji osoba s invaliditetom značajno doprinose faktori kao što su osjećaj nemoćnosti, niža razina obrazovanja i s tim u vezi nedostatna edukacija, ali i drugi okolinski faktori kao što su diskriminacija, stigmatizacija i nedostatak socijalne podrške. Promjena se može osigurati kroz kontinuirani rad u istraživanju i praćenju seksualnog, ali i svih drugih vrsta nasilja nad osobama s invaliditetom, edukacija samih osoba s invaliditetom te jačanje svijesti društva i socijalne podrške, stvoriti će klimu koja će žrtvama omogućiti izlaz iz tamne brojke.

Abstract (english)

Disability and violence are two interrelated phenomena. The root can be seen through a historical overview when people with disabilities were often considered as a burden of society and violence against them was not a rare case. In recent years, significant changes occur. In particular, it is recognized at leaving the medical model but strengthen the social model of approach to persons with disabilities. However, violence against people with disabilities is still a very common problem and requires a serious approach based on knowledge. This paper, therefore presents the results of empirical research, but focused on a particular aspect of violence - sexual violence. In conclusion, it is stated that people with disabilities are at significantly greater risk of experiencing the (sexual) violence, compared with people without disabilities. This is contributed by the factors such as the feeling of powerlessness, lower level of education and the related lack of education, as well as other environmental factors such as discrimination, stigmatization and lack of social support. Change can be ensured through continuous efforts in research and monitoring of sexual violence, but also all other types of violence against people with disabilities. Therefore, education of people with disabilities and to strengthen community awareness and social support, also could contribute to create a climate that will allow victims a way out of the dark figures.
