What Is Sexual Abuse? Understanding the Violation and Your Right to Justice
Sexual abuse is more than a crime—it’s a deep personal violation that leaves lasting emotional, physical, and psychological trauma. For many survivors, the experience is confusing, isolating, and difficult to define, especially when the abuser is someone known or trusted.

Recognizing Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, age, or background. It doesn’t always involve physical force. It can take the form of manipulation, coercion, threats, or exploitation—especially when there is a power imbalance, such as in schools, workplaces, or care facilities.
You may still be questioning whether your experience “counts.” It does. Any unwanted sexual contact, pressure, or violation of consent is abuse—and it is not your fault.
The Hidden Effects That Deserve Recognition
Many survivors carry invisible wounds: shame, guilt, nightmares, anxiety, depression, or difficulty with intimacy and trust. These effects ripple into daily life, relationships, and even job performance.
In addition to the emotional toll, survivors may face real financial burdens—therapy, relocation for safety, time off work, or even long-term health care.
Acknowledging the full scope of damage is essential to healing and justice.
