The issues raised by the ‘me too’ movement, which have been alarming members of Korean society since early 2018, are ‘unspeakable.’ In past instances of sexual violence, the silence of some victims indicated there was no crime and no harm. The societal approach that did not identify, name, or reveal the damage made the existence of ‘sexual violence’ possible. In the medical community, it is necessary for sexual violence victims who visit medical institutions to ensure the victim can “talk” to a health care provider. Medical practitioners need to have the knowledge, skills, and experiences to enable victims of sexual violence to engage in professional interventions at each stage of sexual violence treatment. During each stage, medical staff should base their treatment on an understanding of the specific situation of the sexual violence victim. In this review article, we introduce various phenomena associated with sexual violence that is aimed at minority groups, including technology-facilitated sexual violence. KCI Citation Count: 0
