This study assesses the current situation concerning sexual violence against women in India and women's individual coping strategies. We conducted 15 semistructured interviews with 17- to 22-year-old Indian college students. First, results about the current situation showed threatening circumstances for women and revealed how deeply sexual violence affects women's lives. Second, to cope with sexual violence women mentioned three types of strategies, namely (a) safety, (b) avoidance, and (c) empowerment strategies. In the discussion, we suggest that women's use of safety and avoidance strategies are safety behaviors that play a key role in maintaining women's fear and societal dynamics.
本研究评估了印度针对女性的性暴力现状以及女性的个人应对策略。我们对17至22岁的印度大学生进行了15次半结构化访谈。首先，关于现状的结果显示了女性面临的威胁性环境，并揭示了性暴力对女性生活的影响程度。其次，为应对性暴力，女性提到了三种策略，即（a）安全策略、（b）回避策略和（c）赋权策略。在讨论中，我们认为女性使用安全策略和回避策略是安全行为，这些行为在维持女性的恐惧和社会动态方面起着关键作用。
