Abstract

Objective The recommendations presented here aim to further improve and standardise the medical care of persons affected by sexual violence, particularly female minors in Germany who have been raped. The recommendations are primarily addressed to gynaecologists working in hospitals or private practices and complement the detailed child protection guidelines of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Method After an extensive selective search of the literature, these recommendations were compiled by an interdisciplinary group of experts in a three-stage process at the request of the Board of the DGGG and were adopted by consensus.

Summary This DGGG Statement is divided into two parts according to the age of the affected person (about 14 to 17 years of age/pubertal; 0 to about 13 years of age/prepubertal). There are medical, structural and forensic reasons for this. The Statement provides many recommendations, ranging from how to deal with minors presumed to be victims of acute sexual violence or rape, to the initial emergency care, type of care (e.g., confidential securing of evidence), how to take the patient’s history, the appropriate medical forensic examinations, and medical, psychological and psychosocial care and aftercare.
