The aim of this article is to explore the interplay between poly-victimization and sexual assault against women in late life (SAWLL) according to the life-course perspective. Two themes emerged from qualitative interviews with 18 experienced welfare and health care professionals who intervened in cases of SAWLL: sexual assault by a spouse co-occurring with other types of abuse within marital relationships, and sexual assault and other types of abuse by two or more perpetrators along the life course. In many cases, SAWLL is an expression of a broader experience of poly-victimization, which relates to vulnerability in old age.

生命历程视角下晚年多重受害与性侵犯的相互作用

本文的目的是从生命历程的角度探讨多重受害与晚年妇女性侵犯 (SAWLL) 之间的相互作用。对参与 SAWLL 案件的 18 位经验丰富的福利和医疗保健专业人员进行的定性访谈出现了两个主题：配偶的性侵犯与婚姻关系中的其他类型虐待同时发生，以及两个或两个以上的性侵犯和其他类型的虐待生命历程中的肇事者。在许多情况下，SAWLL 是一种更广泛的多重受害经验的表达，这与老年人的脆弱性有关。
