Podtikanje droge kot oblika nasilja nad ženskami

Hočevar, Nina (author), Grebenc, Vera (mentor)

Z leti je vedno več govora o pojavu podtikanja droge, kljub temu pa je na to temo še vedno premalo raziskanega. Zdi se, kot da omenjena tematika vedno znova potone v pozabo in da družba še ni pripravljena na odkrit dialog o tem, da je tudi to ena od oblik nasilja nad ljudmi, še posebej nad ženskami. Zato je izrednega pomena, da v socialnem delu posvetimo pozornost ozaveščanju o pojavu ter da tovrstno kaznivo dejanje označimo kot nesprejemljivo in ponudimo pomoč tako žrtvam kot tudi povzročiteljem. Ker o slednjih ne vemo veliko, sem se v svojem diplomskem delu osredotočila predvsem na žrtve s poudarkom na raziskovanju pomoči, ki jim je na voljo, da lahko okrevajo. Na obravnavanem področju delujejo predvsem nevladne organizacije, zato sem se odločila, da jih vključim v svojo raziskavo. V teoretičnem uvodu sem pojav podtikanja droge umestila v feministično teorijo o nasilju nad ženskami. Zapisala sem osnovne definicije nasilja, nasilja nad ženskami, spolnega nasilja in podtikanja droge. Predstavila sem možne motive za podtikanje droge, pogostost pojava, droge, ki so uporabljene za podtikanje, najpogostejše lokacije omenjenega kaznivega dejanja in profil žrtev ter povzročiteljev. Nato sem pojav umestila v zakonski okvir, podala nekaj napotkov za prijavo kaznivega dejanja zoper spolno nedotakljivost, predstavila sistem pomoči žrtvam, na koncu pa sem prikazala še relevantnost omenjene tematike za socialno delo. Izvedla sem kvalitativno raziskavo; podatke sem zbrala s pomočjo vnaprej pripravljenega vodila za intervju. Populacijoso predstavljale strokovne delavke in strokovni delavci, ki so v letu 2024 zaposleni v nevladni organizaciji v Republiki Sloveniji in so že obravnavali vsaj en primer spolne zlorabe, ki je sledila podtikanju droge. Iz omenjene populacije sem po priročnosti oblikovala neslučajnostni vzorec petih strokovnih delavk, s katerimi sem izvedla intervjuje. Zanimala me je ocena nevladnih organizacij o pogostosti pojava spolnih zlorab v povezavi s podtikanjem droge, kdo so povzročitelji v odnosu do žrtev in kako bi bilo smiselno zastaviti delo z njimi, kakšne menijo, da so potrebe žrtev, ki poiščejo pomoč, in ali je oblika pomoči, ki jim jo nudijo, vezana na časovni odmik od dogodka, kakšne izkušnje imajo žrtve ob prijavi kaznivega dejanja po spremembi Kazenskega zakonika, kako strokovne delavke in strokovni delavci postopajo, kadar sodelujejo z mladoletnimi žrtvami (dolžnost prijave), kakšno je teoretično izhodišče strokovnih delavk in strokovnih delavcev pri delu z žrtvami, s kakšnimi izzivi se ob tem srečujejo ter kakšna je pri delu z žrtvami podtikanja droge in spolnega nasilja vloga socialnega dela.

• Title: The Phenomenon of Drink Spiking as a Form of Violence Against Women

Abstract

The number of people openly speaking about the phenomenon of drink spiking has increased over the years, but there is still little research on the subject. It seems as if the subject is fadinginto oblivion, as the society is not yet ready for an honest discussion about drink spiking as a form of violence against people, especially women. It is therefore of the utmost importance for social work to raise awareness of the phenomenon, brand this type of crime as unacceptable and offer help to both victims and perpetrators. As we do not know much about the latter, I focused my graduation thesis mainly on victims, with an emphasis on available support that can foster their recovery. Since the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are the most active form of support in this field, I included them in my research. In the theoretical introduction, I situated the phenomenon of drink spiking within feminist theory on violence against women. I wrote down the basic definitions of violence, violence against women, sexual violence, and drink spiking. I presented the possible motives for drink spiking, the frequency of the phenomenon, the drugs used for drink spiking, the most common locations of this crime, and the profile of the victims and perpetrators. I then placed the phenomenon in the legal context, gave some guidelines for reporting a sexual offence, presented the victim assistance system, and finally showed the relevance of the topic for social work. I carried out qualitative research, collected data through the semi-structured interview research tool. The population consisted of professionals working in NGOs in the Republic of Slovenia in 2024, who had already dealt with at least one case of sexual assault following drink spiking. From this population, I drew a nonrandomized sample of five professionals and conducted five interviews. Interview questions focused on assessing the frequency of sexual abuse in connection to drink spiking, the relationship between perpetrators and victims, and possible ways for working with them. Next, I explored what professionals consider to be the needs of the victims who seek help, and whether the form of help they receive is related to the time lag since the event. I looked at the victims’ experiences when reporting the crime after the amendment of the Criminal Code, explored how practitioners deal with under-age victims (duty to report), and examined the theoretical background of professionals when working with victims. Finally, the interviews revealed the challenges faced by professionals and the role of social work when working with victims of drink spiking and sexual violence.
