Prevalence and Damage

At least one in four women and one in six men currently are or will be victims of sexual assault in their lifetimes. The only thing more staggering that the prevalence of abuse is the acute damage done to the victims. This damage can stem from, but is not limited to, the denial of their wills and the violation of their bodies. The effects are physical, social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual.
