Abstract

This article reviews the concept of revictimization taking into consideration several interdisciplinary perspectives.  Based on this premise, we analyze how contemporary feminism expands on violence against women.  After the said analysis, we explore recent studies on sexual revictimization to study how feminism has reflected and intervened in society and academia to provide greater visibility to the multiple phenomena involved in revictimization.

Keywords: revictimization, sexual revictimization, violence, contemporary feminism, survivors.
