The book was born out of the effort to collate all the information in concise form which can be referred to by each of you in times of doubt. With the help of this, health professionals can use the guidelines as a day-to-day service document and/or as a tool to guide the development of health services for victims of sexual violence. This can also be used to prepare in-service training courses on sexual violence for health care practitioners and other members of multidisciplinary teams. Our team has made best efforts to collect up-to-date information from global and local experts and prepared a document you must keep as a ready reckoner in your clinics and libraries.</span><br></p>
