Mapping Evaluated University Primary Prevention Interventions Against a Whole-of-University Framework
While sexual violence on university campuses is a widespread issue, universities have been slow to implement interventions to respond to or prevent sexual violence. Primary prevention interventions address the root causes of sexual violence, and universities offer a unique opportunity for implementing them through a whole-of-university approach. Using a scoping review method, we mapped existing peer-reviewed literature from high-income countries …
LGBTQ+ Adult Sexual Violence Critical Scoping Review
Sexual violence experienced by LGBTQ+ adults is a rapidly expanding field of academic study. Therefore, there is a need for a synthesis and critical analysis of the research. The aim of this review was to conduct a critical review of the academic literature on adult LGBTQ+ sexual violence and to provide recommendations for future research. A total of 10,845 papers were identified through a comprehensive scoping review approach and 108 met the cri…
LGBTQ+ Adult Sexual Violence Critical Scoping Review
The existing research on sexual violence has primarily concentrated on instances where cisgender, heterosexual men have perpetrated sexual violence against cisgender, heterosexual women, with knowledge about LGBTQ+ people underdeveloped. However, there is a growing body of literature examining the experiences of LGBTQ+ people. No previous review has critically synthesized both quantitative and qualitative scholarly studies on adult LGBTQ+ sexual …
The System Can't Cope’
Alcohol and other drug (AOD)‐facilitated sexual violence can have significant impacts on victim‐survivors, yet little is known about what support service providers offer them. To understand the experiences and perceptions of service providers, interviews with counsellors, health workers, forensic toxicologists and harm reduction workers were conducted. Two themes were generated, theme one: ‘The hidden contexts of AOD‐facilitated sexual violence’ …
A Scoping Review of Global Literature on Alcohol and Other Drug-Facilitated Sexual Violence
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 in…
Prevalence and perpetration contexts of sexual violence among cisgender LGBQ+ adults in Australia
This article analyses the lifetime and 12-month prevalence of sexual violence victimisation in a sample of 5,267 cisgender lesbian, gay, bi/pansexual, queer or other non-heterosexual participants in Australia. The study explores three research questions in relation to cisgender LGBQ+ respondents: (1) the prevalence of sexual violence among respondents and differences by gender and sexuality; (2) the gender of perpetrators of sexual violence again…
Alcohol and legitimate victimhood
This study highlights how gendered expectations and societal attitudes toward alcohol consumption reinforce victim-blaming and undermine the credibility of drink spiking victims. Addressing these structural inequities requires shifting the focus from victims' behaviour to perpetrators and systemic failures. We recommend re-imagining alcohol's role in drink spiking, facilitating sexual violence and denying victims' legitimacy, and interventions th…
Alcohol and Drug Facilitated Sexual Violence
This article presents a study exploring the prevention of alcohol and drug (AOD)-facilitated sexual violence. A participatory action research/appreciative inquiry method, World Café Forum, was used to take a multi-stakeholder approach to explore prevention initiatives. Thirty-two individuals from 14 stakeholder organizations attended. Analysis established five recurring themes, overlayed by power imbalances: education and training; policy-led ini…
I Don’t Know for Certain”
This study analyzed drink spiking posts on Reddit, examining 91 threads and 14,284 comments to understand victim-survivor and bystander experiences. Our analysis produced four themes: contexts of drink spiking, harms experienced, immediate bystander actions, and long-term help-seeking. Drink spiking was often reported by women with male perpetrators, typically occurring in bars, private residences, or parties where alcohol was consumed and other …

I’ll Try and Make Myself as Small as Possible
Public transport is a known hotspot for sexual violence and harassment. Through 41 interviews with women and gender-diverse people who have experienced sexual violence and harassment on public transport, we found that women and gender-diverse people engage in extensive “safety work,” such as changing their behavior, strategizing, and planning. Safety work takes considerable time and effort, often leaving participants feeling stressed. However, pa…
Paralysed and powerless”
Alcohol and Other Drug Facilitated Sexual Violence (AODFSV), known as “drink-spiking,” is the administration of alcohol or other drugs to someone without their consent, with the intent to harm them. Investigation into portrayals of AODFSV in the Australian news media is needed. Using feminist critical discourse analysis, this paper investigated the portrayal of AODFSV in the Australian news media in the past ten years. 226 articles were included …
