Kawit Yav Lucid

Abstract: This work aims to identify the real victims of sexual violence in Lubumbashi because rape has become a source of income for some alleged victims parents. We would like to find out what would prevail between the psychological variable and the physical variable. We have used a psychosocial survey, a questionnaire and Chi-Square test. The population consisting of the Lushois (The inhabitant of Lubumbashi Town), is a larger population, we have extracted a disproportionate stratified sample of 483 participants. A victim is a person who has suffered a superficial introduction of a sex organ, an object or part of the body into any orifice without his/her consent, the obligation of recounting his/her sexual intercourse, sexual exploitation, sexual threats, the obligation of seeing or touching private parts of the body of a third person and to exhibit his sensitive parts. The hypothesis that the psychological variable prevails over the physical variable is invalidated.
