The management of sexual violence cases is a complex, multi-phase process that requires a multi-disciplinary approach. The examination and evaluation of sexual violence victims are carried out in different institutions and conditions, by healthcare workers of varying experience and expertise, with varying examination procedures, and the inconsistencies in the reports that are prepared may cause difficulties in the protection of the legal rights of the people involved, and disruptions in the judiciary process. It is only through detailed, accurate and objective documentation that this process can be sustained.Purpose: to state the need for a common protocol or standardization in the area of sexual violence throughout the country.Methods: the article is based on the methods of system analysis, synthesis, description, generalization.Results: the author proves that the primary objective in sexual abuse/assault cases should be the use of current technology and laboratories and ensuring standardization in reporting.
