Although Sexual Assault Awareness Month may be over, the topic of sexual assault and violence needs to be an ongoing conversation. “Recent global prevalence figures indicate that 35% of women worldwide have experienced either intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime”.

Effects of Sexual Assault

Post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, extreme shame, self-harm, depression, Stockholm syndrome, eating and sleep disorders, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy, dissociative identity disorder, and many more.
