Gender-based sexual violence is a widespread public health problem
affecting people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds. Although
both women and men experience sexual trauma across countries and
contexts (e.g., military vs. civilian), prevalence rates of sexual
trauma are higher among women, and women and girls may often be
targeted due to their sex and rigidly held beliefs about gender
roles. Experiences of sexual violence can have a myriad of negative
outcomes for survivors, including implications for mental health
and physical health difficulties. The content of this book
encompasses a foundation for understanding the impact of
gender-based sexual violence, common mental and physical health
difficulties associated sexual assault, and trauma-informed care.
This volume also addresses evidence-based psychotherapies for
trauma survivors as well as emotional difficulties that may affect
providers who work with this population (e.g., burnout, secondary
traumatic stress). After reading this book, the authors hope
readers have a deeper understanding of gender-based sexual violence
and can meaningfully apply the practical skills provided throughout
this text, whether in support of loved ones or in their daily work.
Finally, the authors hope all readers experience decreased stigma,
including self-stigma, related to gender-based violence.
