The objectives of this presentation are to estimate the risk of experiencing sexual violence (SV) according to different groups of sexual and gender minorities among undergraduate university students, to identify the specific context of SV and to estimate the risk of presenting symptoms of trauma associated with the violence experienced. Results show that the risk of experiencing SV is greater among sexual and gender minorities, and the contexts in which it occurs vary according to the group. In addition, sexually and gender diverse students who experience SV have more symptoms of trauma than their cisgender or heterosexual peers. These findings raise concerns about what needs to be done to prevent sexual violence experienced by this population, and to intervene with victims.
