‘I Am Talking About It Because I Want to Stop It’: Child Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Against Women in British South Asian Communities
Open accessAbstract
This article explores the role of socio-cultural factors in violence against women and girls, focusing on child sexual abuse (CSA) and sexual violence (SV) in British South Asian communities. Using examples from 13 in-depth interviews with survivors, the researchers examine (1) how abusers gain access to their victims, (2) family and community responses and (3) the role of cultural factors in concealing CSA/SV. The interviews demonstrate that British South Asian survivors are extremely reluctant to disclose SV/CSA due to factors that other groups of victims usually do not face, including a general taboo about discussing sex and strong cultural norms around notions of shame. These findings are contextualized in relation to a larger study that also involved community focus groups and interviews with professionals in relevant fields. Moving forward, new culturally specific support pathways for British South Asian victims must be developed that take account of the role that victims and their communities must play if CSA and SV are to be effectively combatted.

Women's reluctance to engage with the justice system often stems from fears of disbelief, judgment, or further victimization.
“Women’s reluctance to engage with the justice system often stems from fears of disbelief, judgment, or further victimization [29, 30]”
From ‘We don’t talk about that around here’: an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) of South Asian male survivors’ experiences of childhood sexual abuse in the UK (2025) · cites this paper as [30]
In “Cultural factors in reporting SV/CSA to the police” (page not supplied), the paper reports that British South Asian women were reluctant to report abuse to police, partly because they feared officers would not believe them. “The perils of disclosing SV/CSA” also describes fears of community judgment and ‘honour’-based violence. The claim broadens these findings to women generally and does not distinguish feared consequences of disclosure from further victimization by the justice system. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThese constructs often serve as mechanisms of social control, affecting both men and women in their help seeking behaviours.

The ‘Honour’, socio-cultural norms section describes honour and shame as controls on women’s behaviour and says they shape whom South Asian women dare report abuse to. ‘The perils of disclosing SV/CSA’ likewise links stigma to survivors’ reluctance to seek help. The paper does not establish that these constructs affect men’s own help-seeking behaviour; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMany survivors experience PTSD-related symptoms, anxiety, and depression, often rooted in feelings of powerlessness, guilt, and worthlessness.
“As a result, many survivors experience PTSD-related symptoms, anxiety, and depression, often rooted in feelings of powerlessness, guilt, and worthlessness [28–30].”

The ‘Cultural inhibitors in South Asian communities’ section (page unavailable) says survivors often experience self-blame and shame. A later discussion of barriers to disclosure says many feel helpless. The paper does not establish that many survivors experience PTSD-related symptoms, anxiety, or depression, or that those conditions are rooted in the stated feelings. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSharam acts as a powerful deterrent against seeking help, especially for sensitive issues like sexual violence and abuse.
“Relatedly, sharam acts as a powerful deterrent against seeking help, especially for sensitive issues like sexual violence and abuse [30].”
Cultural influences play a significant role in shaping how female survivors from South Asian communities interpret their trauma responses, involving fears of dishonouring the family.
“For instance, cultural influences play a significant role in shaping how female survivors from South Asian communities interpret their trauma responses, involving fears of dishonouring the family.”
Concerns about dishonouring and shaming often lead families to cover up incidents of sexual violence against female members, fearing that it may tarnish their status in the community.
“Conversely, concerns about dishonouring and shaming often lead families to cover up incidents of sexual violence against female members, fearing that it may tarnish their status in the community [29, 30].”
Similar patterns are observed among South Asian women, where norms discouraging discussion about sex- especially in the context of violence- contribute to silencing and internalised shame.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
