Résumé
This study explored barriers and facilitators to accessing post sexual-based violence (SBV) health services among young women (18-24 years) attending higher education institutions in Nigeria. Using an online survey of 114 participants, the research identified major barriers including a lack of awareness of services, stigma/shame, and inadequate support systems. Facilitators included assurance of confidentiality and access to free services. The findings highlight the need for multilevel efforts by families, communities, civil society, and governments to improve access to essential SBV health services.
