A proposito di questo titolo

Apart from sexual gratification itself, sexual violence against women is often a result of unequal power equations, both real and perceived between men and women, and is also strongly influenced by cultural factors and values. Sexual violence is likely to occur more commonly in cultures that foster beliefs of perceived male superiority and social and cultural inferiority of women. Kalra, G. & Bhugra, D. (2013) Indian Journal of Psychiatry

In many societies, women, as well as men, regard marriage as entailing the obligation on women to be sexually available virtually without limit. Even outside of marriage, women may have extremely few legitimate options to refuse sexual advances. World Health Organization, First World Report on Violence and Health (2002).
