What Is the Role of Economic Insecurity in Health? The Unequal Burden of Sexual Assault Among Women Female survivors of sexual violence are more likely than other women to experience psychological distress, depression, PTSD, and suicidal ideation as well as chronic health conditions and poor physical health following their experiences of sexual assault. However, the social, economic, and health burdens of sexual violence do not affect all women equally.
