“Because sexual trauma changes everything. That sexual violation is, on one level, the worst kind of violence you can get because what I’ve always taught is that it violates your boundaries, it violates your trust, and it violates your sense of control. And so those three things are pretty essential in day-to-day living and they’re inordinately impressive and important in all relationships: sexual, friendship, work. And if your ideas about boundaries and trust and control had been skewed because of sexual abuse, then a therapist or a psychologist would not know how to interpret a person’s behavior and certainly wouldn’t know how to help them.”

— Marilyn Hutchinson, Ph.D.

The Impact of Sexual Violence on Victims

94% of women who are assaulted experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Approximately 70% of sexual assault survivors experience moderate to severe distress, a larger percentage than for any other violent crime.
Sexual assault or abuse negatively impacts every aspect of the survivor’s life, including relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. 
Many survivors of sexual assault or abuse experience work or school difficulties, which can include significant problems with employers, coworkers, and peers.
Many survivors also experience difficulties in relationships with family and friends, including getting into arguments more frequently than before, not feeling able to trust their family and friends, or not feeling as close to them as before the assault or abuse.
The impact of sexual abuse on victims can be devastating, affecting them physically, emotionally, and psychologically. The trauma experienced by sexual assault survivors can manifest in various ways, and it is essential to understand the long-term consequences they face.
Physically, survivors of sexual abuse may struggle with chronic pain, sleep disturbances, and somatic symptoms. The trauma can take a toll on their bodies, leading to a range of physical health issues. These can include headaches, stomachaches, and muscle tension, among other ill effects.
