Violence Against Women

Research Center of Gender, Diversity and Intersectionality (RHEA), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium.
The Instagram account (@Balance_ton_bar) highlighted the issue of sexual violence in Brussels nightlife sharing testimonials from victim-survivors. Set up in response to reports of drug-facilitated sexual assault at nightlife establishments, the account aimed to raise awareness and hold establishments accountable. This study examines these testimonials to explore how violence was perpetrated-through chemical drugging, alcohol use, isolation, and social power-the socio-emotional consequences for victim-survivors, and their journeys in seeking support.

The problem of finding a suitable biomarker to widen the detection window of γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) intake remains a challenge in forensic toxicology. Based on previously published results, the present study deals with the evaluation of a fatty acid ester of GHB (4-palmitoyloxy butyrate (GHB-Pal)) in whole blood as a potential biomarker to extend the detection window of GHB use e.g.

The use of alcohol or other drugs to facilitate sexual violence (AOD-facilitated sexual violence) is a public health concern. There are significant gaps in knowledge on victimization, perpetration, contexts, impacts, and attitudes. Using a scoping review method, we mapped existing peer-reviewed, global literature to examine what is known about AOD-facilitated sexual violence to inform the development of AOD-facilitated sexual violence targeted interventions.

Article Synopsis
- There is a pressing need for a sensitive and quick method to detect ketamine and scopolamine, commonly used in drug-facilitated sexual assaults.
- Researchers developed electrochemical sensors using N-heterocyclic carbene-coordinated ruthenium polymers combined with multi-walled carbon nanotubes, achieving high sensitivities for both drugs.
- The sensors demonstrate remarkable selectivity and low detection limits, making them promising tools for on-site detection in forensic investigations of date rape drugs.
GHB, Chemsex and Chemical Submission: Investigating the Role of Sexuality on Victim Empathy and Blame Attribution in Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault against Men.

Literature is sparse regarding men's attitudes towards male sexual assault and the role that the sexuality of those involved may have. Despite the high prevalence of chemsex and GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) participation among men who have sex with men, no study has yet investigated attitudes towards such. Utilising a community sample of 141 UK men, participants were randomly assigned into one of six conditions based on victim sexuality (heterosexual or homosexual) and the drug used present during the sexual assault (chemsex, chemical submission, or no drugs).
