PDFThe impacts of sexual assault on women

12 April 2011This resource sheet gathers together the findings from a wide range of research into the impacts of sexual assault on adult women.

Sexual assault can include a diverse range of experiences and, as such, the effects of sexual assault on the victim/survivor and the community at large are also diverse. The effect of sexual assault is not only psychological or emotional but also impacts upon physical, social, interpersonal and financial domains. These are all considered in this resource.
