The purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting depression in foreign female students affected by sexual violence and to prepare an intervention plan for keeping them safe from sexual violence. We used data from the 2020 Survey on the Safety and Human Rights Protection of Female Foreign Students. Among a total of 410 emale international students, data on 191 respondents who had experienced sexual violence were analyzed. The subjects were then divided into those who had sought formal help (n=62) and those who had not (n=129). Our analysis showed no statistical difference in the level of depression between the two groups, but the former group showed significantly higher levels of “social support” and “satisfaction with studying abroad”. Another finding is that “social support” and the “level of Korean proficiency” were factors affecting depression in the group that had sought formal help. Factors that were found to affect depression in the other group were “secondary damage”, “the satisfaction with studying abroad”, and the “country of origin”. Based on its findings, this study suggested policy and practical interventions for keeping foreign female students safe from sexual violence and for making support services more accessible to them.
