Survivors of Sexual Violence

Survivors of sexual violence are individuals who have experienced unwanted or non-consensual sexual acts. This trauma can cause emotional, physical, and psychological effects that may last long after the incident. Support and understanding are crucial in their healing process. Recovery varies for each person, and professional help, such as counseling, can aid in addressing the impact. Recognizing their resilience and respecting their experiences fosters a safe environment for healing and empowerment, emphasizing that they are not defined by the abuse but are strong in their journey toward recovery.
