Abstract

What has been changed in the system of social help since sexual abuse became a public topic? Is social work capable of providing adequate help and support for the survivors? The article presents the results of a three-year-lasting research project. In three different regions the authors have scrutinized 1. the institutions offering help, 2. the knowledge of and the attitude towards sexual violence of the professionals and 3. the conceptional assumptions leading social work. The results show that the situation for survivors of sexual abuse has definitely improved, because there are more helping institutions and the professional awareness has increased. But for a profound reorganization of help, restrictive financial politics, internalized prejudices and institutional concepts need to be changed.
