Sexual Assault Aptly Appropriate Fact/s For This Websites Topic

For male violence victims, the most common perpetrator is a stranger, followed by an acquaintance. For women it's the opposite. Intimate partners are the most likely attackers, followed by acquaintances, and then strangers, even though violence by strangers gets the most attention in the media.

"Aaron Levin, 2010, Complex PTSD may result when trauma is ongoing"

This was when Judith Herman was receiving her award for the work she has done in the area of sexual abuse and women. One of the leaders in women's sexual abuse / assault.

Another strong fact for women that want to actively improve, is (Judith Herman's clinical experience): "Finally, women who emerged the best managed to create some social meaning out of their experience. They took action to help other survivors or to prevent similar crimes from happening to other women."

Helping others is often the best help you can give yourself... because its where you gain the most understanding of things you often can't explain yourself, for yourself, but come to learn through others.
