Awareness Creation of Sexual Violence through Conceptual Apparel Design

Sexual violence is experienced by thirty-five percent (35%) of women worldwide, during their lifetime (DV Report, 2016). The Domestic Violence Report also posits that assault similarly denoted as sexual mishandling is an unwarranted sensual attitude by one individual on a different individual. Deducing from the report emphasis is laid on sexual abuse being commonly perpetrated by an offender, as using force or by taking advantage of a person. Such a wrongdoer is declared as being a sexual offender and a molester (DV Report, 2016). The terminology of sexual exploitation also discloses a behaviour in an older person or a ripe infantile as directed to a juvenile, this is usually towards the stimulation of/or the involved usage of a child in a sexually explicit manner; including the use of additional personalities beginning than the age of consent for carnal act, for sensual stimulation; and thus is referred to as adolescent or child sexual abuse or statutory rape (DV Report, 2016). This practice which is commonly verbal and physical assault (Luman, 2018), is experienced by both males and females even though quarter to eight in ten women are victims (Feldblum and Lipnic, 2016). This largely influences the cognitive abilities, performance, emotions and psychological well-being (Jewkes, Sen and Garcia-Moreno, 2002; Shaw, Hegewisch and Hess, 2018; Schneider, Swan, and Fitzgerald, 1997)
