Women and Trauma

Women and trauma refer to how women experience and process traumatic events, such as abuse, loss, or violence. Trauma can affect mental health, leading to issues like anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Women might be more vulnerable to certain types of trauma, such as gender-based violence, and their responses are shaped by biological, social, and cultural factors. Healing often involves therapy and support systems that address emotional, psychological, and physical impacts. Recognizing these experiences is essential for providing effective care and fostering resilience in women affected by trauma.
