For some time now, sexual violence has become a topical issue in the world in general and in DR Congo in particular. Similarly, sexual violence is highly detected, while their psycho-traumatic consequences, which are rarely diagnosed by health professionals due to training in this area during their studies, although they are traumatic, are serious and complicated. Indeed, during our investigations, it was found that in Basoko: - The high incidence of sexual violence was observed among victims over 10-15 years, or 90.2% of cases; - The female sex is the most affected with a predominance of 96.7% of the cases; - Most of the victims are illiterate, or 54.4% of the cases; - Most victims are unemployed ie do not have trades to do, or 55.4% of cases; - The majority of cases of sexual violence committed against minors are processed by the civil authorities, ie 83.7% of cases; - Abundant haemorrhage, abrasion and tear in the perineum are characteristic clinical signs observed after sexual violence (69.6%); 41.3% and 9.8% of cases; - Several late consequences due to sexual violence among victims: hemorrhages, Sexually transmitted infections, menstrual disorders, pelvic pain, pregnancy and early marriage and abortion. So in Basoko, the severity of the consequences of sexual violence on the health of the victims, the lack of information and the underestimation are at worst. Often they are committed by relatives and recognized persons of the victims. This shows that sexual violence is a reality in the city of Basoko.

Abstract
For some time now, sexual violence has become a topical issue in the world in general and in DR Congo in particular. Similarly, sexual violence is highly detected, while their psycho-traumatic consequences, which are rarely diagnosed by health professionals due to training in this area during their studies, although they are traumatic, are serious and complicated. Indeed, during our investigations, it was found that in Basoko: - The high incidence of sexual violence was observed among victims over 10-15 years, or 90.2% of cases; - The female sex is the most affected with a predominance of 96.7% of the cases; - Most of the victims are illiterate, or 54.4% of the cases; - Most victims are unemployed ie do not have trades to do, or 55.4% of cases; - The majority of cases of sexual violence committed against minors are processed by the civil authorities, ie 83.7% of cases; - Abundant haemorrhage, abrasion and tear in the perineum are characteristic clinical signs observed after sexual violence (69.6%); 41.3% and 9.8% of cases; - Several late consequences due to sexual violence among victims: hemorrhages, Sexually transmitted infections, menstrual disorders, pelvic pain, pregnancy and early marriage and abortion. So in Basoko, the severity of the consequences of sexual violence on the health of the victims, the lack of information and the underestimation are at worst. Often they are committed by relatives and recognized persons of the victims. This shows that sexual violence is a reality in the city of Basoko.

Abstract: (french)
Depuis quelques temps, les violences sexuelles sont devenues un thème d’actualité au monde en général et en RD Congo en particulier. De même, les violences sexuelles sont très dépistées alors que leurs conséquences psycho traumatiques, rarement diagnostiquées par des professionnels de santé faute de la formation en la matière pendant leurs études bien que des traumatismes, sont graves et compliquent la prise en charge. En effet, lors de nos investigations, il a été constaté qu’à Basoko : - La fréquence élevée des violences sexuelles a été observée chez les victimes de plus de 10 à 15ans, soit 90,2 % des cas ; - Le sexe féminin est le plus touché avec une prédominance de 96,7 % des cas ; - La plus part des victimes sont des analphabètes, soit 54,4 % des cas ; - La plupart des victimes sont sans profession c'est-à-dire n’ont pas des métiers à faire, soit 55,4% des cas ; - La majorité des dossiers de violences sexuelles commises sur les mineurs est traitée par les autorités civiles, soit 83,7 % des cas ; - L’hémorragie abondante, l’écorchure et la déchirure du périnée sont des signes cliniques caractéristiques observées chez les victimes après d’une violence sexuelle, soit 69,6 % ; 41,3 % et 9,8 % des cas. - Plusieurs conséquences tardives dues aux violences sexuelles chez les victimes à savoir : les hémorragies, les IST, troubles menstruels, douleurs pelviennes, grossesses et mariages précoces et l’avortement. Donc, à Basoko, la gravité des conséquences de la violence sexuelle sur la santé des victimes, le manque d’informations et la sous estimation sont au pire. Souvent, elles sont commises par des proches et des personnes reconnues des victimes. Ce qui témoigne que, les violences sexuelles sont une réalité présente dans la ville de Basoko.
