Welcome to the ePoster Viewing Panel of AICOG 2025

Intro: domestic and sexual violence has long been a burden in our society. The rise in cases has made matters worse and hence it is necessary to get to the root of these problems if we have to nip them in the bud. Aims and objectives: 1. to report the incidence of domestic and sexual violence 2. offer these patients proper counselling & legal help if needed 3. To try and resolve issues faced by them through joint meetings Materials & methods: data analysis of domestic & sexual violence cases against women was done in secondary care municipal hospitals in Mumbai, the cases were further divided based on age, pregnant non pregnant state & type of abuse.The data was analysed on the basis of total number of patients screened and how many of them registered .Registered patients were followed up with joint meetings and helped them in seeking legal advice. Results: Above 18 years of age, 1295 patients were screened of which only 178 registered, which is only 13.75%. 166 patients were of domestic violence of which 48 were pregnant only 81 cases followed up. 13 patients were helped through joint meetings and 25 referred for legal advice. 12 cases of sexual violence were registered of which 3 were pregnant and 6 were post trauma poison intake. Below 18 years of age, 38 patients were screened of which 16 registered which is 57.14%; 9 cases were of sexual violence of which 5 were pregnant and 7 cases of domestic violence. Conclusion: this study shows that even after screening and counselling, very few women register. There are multiple social and demographic reasons for the same. As gynaecologist we play a role of linking these patients to the correct guidance and counselling. Despite our best efforts, many cases are lost to follow up.
