Researchers have found that women who have experienced sexual violence by a partner might suffer from PTSD (Bennice et al, 2003;Kessler et al, 2017;Zakrison et al, 2017;Honda et al, 2018), depression (Davhana-Maselesele et al, 2014;Honda et al, 2018), anxiety (Jaquier et al, 2015;Honda et al, 2018), substance and alcohol abuse (Decker et al, 2014;Jaquier et al, 2015;Hahm et al, 2017;Pengpid et al, 2018), somatic symptoms (Honda et al, 2018), sleep problems (Issahaku, 2015), and suicidal ideation and/or attempt (Sedziafa et al, 2016;Honda et al, 2018;Pengpid et al, 2018).
