The effects of sexual assault on women can be profound and multifaceted, impacting every aspect of their lives. Physically, survivors may suffer injuries, but the emotional and psychological scars often run deeper. Many women experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), characterised by flashbacks, anxiety, and depression. The trauma can also lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and self-blame, which can erode self-esteem and trust in others.
Relationships may become strained, as survivors may struggle with intimacy and fear of vulnerability. The social stigma associated with sexual assault can further isolate survivors, making it harder for them to seek support. Long-term, the effects can ripple through their personal and professional lives, influencing everything from career prospects to mental health.
So please do help identify this man.
