Media, news, electronic press, constantly trumpet and flood us with negative information at the national and international level: "... Raped minor child ..."; "... Committed lewd acts with a three-year-old child..."; "... Raped and murdered minor..."; "... Raped woman ..."; "... Beaten, raped and robbed elderly woman ..."; ... Broadcast national and international protests in defense and support of people who have experienced sexual violence ...

Sexual violence is a phenomenon that exists in every country, every society, every ethnic and religious group. Witnessing it happening - experienced sexual abuse; committed acts of fornication and sexual violence by an adult against a minor; committed lewd acts by a biological parent or relative against a minor or underage child; children driven to prostitution; children enticed to pornography and extortion through cyberspace..., makes us ask ourselves the question: Are all these people protected by the Law, what measures are taken and what rights do they have?

This report was prepared within the framework of Project "In Defense of Human Rights", No. ACF/707 with the financial support of the Active Citizens Fund - Bulgaria under the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area 2014 - 2021.
