Supported by the Hesse Department of Science and Art
Runtime 04.2009  10.2010
According to a representative study 13% of German women fall victim to criminall prosecuted sexual harassment at least once in their lifetime. 
In order to secure forensic evidence for trial the Hesse Department of Labour Work, Family and Health lead-managed the design of a special documentation sheet and forensic examination kit to be used in cases of sexual violence. Since 2008 police officers in Hesse are required to escort female victims of sexual assault to the hospital and insure implementation of the documentation sheet and the forensic examination kit. The project evaluates the implementation of the documentation sheet in Hesse. Questions to be answered are: How and to what extent is the documentation sheet being used? How is the cooperation between police, medical doctors, the womens helpline and the prosecution? To what extent does the documentation sheet help to improve the health care of victims?
Methods
Up to now 11 interviews have been arranged with the 12 women helplines in Hesse. 23 questionguide supported interviews with police officers from commissioners offices of Hessen were conducted. Furthermore, interviews with prosecutors, judges and victims advocates from nine Hessian regions are planned. In medical care regions nine interviews with gynecologists in hospitals and in established practices will be arranged. The final results will be given in September.
