Introduction

Sexual violence (SV) remains a significant public health concern, with complex manifestations across gender and sexual orientation. In Argentina, research on SV perpetration is scarce and has focused almost exclusively on heterosexual men, leaving a critical gap in data on other population groups.

Methods

This study investigated the prevalence and characteristics of SV perpetration using the Sexual Experiences Survey-Short Form Perpetration (SES-SFP) in a sample of 1200 cisgender adults from Argentina, including individuals of different sexual orientations. Data were collected during 2022 and 2023.

Results

The results revealed SV perpetration across all groups, with prevalence rates comparable to those reported internationally. Group differences were explored by comparing both overall prevalence and SES-SFP continuous scores, revealing different patterns depending on the scoring approach. A multiple regression analysis model showed that lower levels of SV perpetration were significantly associated with identifying as a heterosexual woman and with being employed.

Conclusion

This study marks an initial local effort to examine perpetrated SV.

Policy Implications

The findings underscore the need for inclusive public policies and prevention strategies that consider the diverse roles of perpetrators across gender and sexual orientation, particularly in historically underrepresented groups.
