With sexual violence emerging as an increasingly serious social issue, demand for related
policies is on the rise. Policies and support services have accordingly been developed or
expanded in various sectors, but support services for victims and their families are still
severely insufficient. Hence, this study focused primarily on intervention and support for
families of victims of sexual violence. In-depth interviews were carried out in order to
gauge the needs and desires of victims of child and intrafamilial sexual abuse and their
families. In addition, the problems and current status of intervention and support systems for
families of sexual abuse victims were evaluated. Based on the research findings, effective
methods to support and intervene with victims of child and intrafamilial sexual abuse and
their families were suggested.
