Description
Summary:The aim of this article is to understand the consequences of sexual violence, and, for this purpose, an explanatory case study was undertaken. The data were collected from semi-structured interviews with women involved in this issue and were investigated according to the content analysis method, resulting in three categories: “Thinking about violence: consequences of sexual violence on victim’s behavior”; “Social support networks: a search for support and an embrace of those who suffered sexual violence” and “Global impact of sexual violence”. Finally, one can observe that sexual violence has serious effects on those who have suffered it, affecting all aspects of life, directly or indirectly. The effects and the occurrences of this kind of violence are influenced by social gender issues.
