Sexual violence has been recognized as a problem that adversely affects the well being of women. Despite the increasing wave of this crime, there is gross under reporting and a poor attitude to seeking medical care by victims, making the problem to be under-estimated and poorly managed. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge of the students on the concept of sexual violence and determine factors that would hinder them from seeking medical care when exposed to sexual violence. A cross-sectional descriptive study was employed in which selfadministered questionnaires were distributed to students residing in the 4 female hostels within the Ugbowo Campus of the University of Benin. The findings from the study showed that a greater proportion of the students were not willing to seek medical care when exposed to sexual violence. Attitude of health care workers was identified as capable of discouraging the respondents from seeking medical care. Knowledge of the consequences of sexual violence and the fact that health facilities can prevent these untoward effects was identified to facilitate seeking medical care. The study concluded by advising attitudinal change by health care workers as well as public enlightenment on the problems of sexual violence and benefit of seeking medical care to address this public health problem.
