In recent years, significant changes occur. In particular, it is recognized at leaving the medical model but strengthen the social model of approach to persons with disabilities. However, violence against people with disabilities is still a very common problem and requires a serious approach based on knowledge. This paper, therefore presents the results of empirical research, but focused on a particular aspect of violence - sexual violence. In conclusion, it is stated that people with disabilities are at significantly greater risk of experiencing the (sexual) violence, compared with people without disabilities. This is contributed by the factors such as the feeling of powerlessness, lower level of education and the related lack of education, as well as other environmental factors such as discrimination, stigmatization and lack of social support.
