Sexual violence and rape among young migrants in Sweden: a cross-sectional study on prevalence, determinants, perpetrators, and reporting patterns

The findings urge policymakers to prioritize targeted interventions, raise awareness, provide comprehensive support services tailored to the diverse needs of migrant groups, various perpetrator types, and the individual, systemic, and structural factors influencing reporting behaviors. These initiatives should adopt a migration-trajectory approach that recognize that migrants may have experienced SV throughout their journey and consider the unique experiences and vulnerabilities of non-binary individuals, LGBA individuals, those with low education levels, and migrants without formal residence status, regardless of their origin.
