An ecological working framework as a new model for understanding and preventing the victimization of women by drug-facilitated sexual assault.

Abstract in brief

• The text introduces a new ecological working framework that combines multidisciplinary insights to better understand and prevent women’s victimization through drug-facilitated sexual assault, highlighting the growing prevalence of drug use among women and its connection to violence.
• This framework emphasizes an intersectional, gender-sensitive approach, integrating international guidelines and incorporating a multidimensional, ecological model with multiple influence levels and the triangular theory of violence to address this complex issue.
• The purpose of this innovative model is to serve as a comprehensive, multilevel platform that enhances understanding of the phenomenon and supports the development of effective prevention strategies.
