Exploring the Impact of Sexual Abuse on Women

Sexual Abuse’s Lasting Impact

Sexual abuse trauma can have a devastating impact on a woman's life, leaving profound scars. The stigma surrounding sexual abuse can make seeking help even more challenging. However, it's essential to support sexual abuse survivors and let them know they're not alone on their path to healing and recovery.

Examples of Sexual Abuse

Various forms of sexual violence fall under the classification of sexual abuse, all capable of inflicting trauma. It's crucial to recognize that perpetrators can commit sexual abuse or violence against women without physical contact. Understanding this is paramount in addressing and preventing such incidents.

• Childhood Sexual Abuse

  Childhood sexual abuse involves sexual exploitation or assault during childhood or adolescence, often by a family member or trusted individual.

• Sexual Assault

  Sexual assault is non-consensual sexual activity, such as rape, unwanted touching, or any form of sexual contact without the victim's consent.

• Sexual Harassment

  Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual advances, comments, or behavior in the workplace, educational institutions, or other settings.

• Sexual Coercion

  Sexual coercion is forcing or pressuring a woman into sexual activity against her will, even within a relationship.

• Human Trafficking

• Revenge Porn
