Abstract
This article makes a brief historical, conceptual and legal approximation to sexual violence against women, identifying the impact and consequences on women who suffer it and community and social harm. In recent years, thanks to pressure from the feminist movement, the Spanish Government has launched the 24-hour Crisis Centres, covered by the new Law on Sexual Freedom and under the international human rights framework. Since the 70s, the anti-rape movement, the various international human rights instruments and the voices of victims have been developing new models of comprehensive intervention to guarantee the right to redress. By applying a feminist methodology, a holistic critical response model for the safe care, support and reparation of sexual violence against women is proposed as a result of new approaches; specific services; processes of crisis intervention, recovery and reparation of damage; and spaces for care for women and their loved ones. All in order to enable women to be expressed and feel secure, institutional respect and good diligence in their processes, times and decision-making.
