“…While not studied as extensively as risk factors, resilience, and protective factors (those that buffer against negative outcomes) in recovery related to sexual assault have also been studied [ 25 , 61 , 62 ]. Among the general population, social support has been identified as a key protective factor in the prevention of sexual assault [ 62 ]. After an assault, social support, especially from friends, relatives, and the community are associated with better outcomes [ 25 , 61 , 65 ].…”

Sexual violence against Indigenous women has long been used as a tool of colonial violence and conquest. As a contemporary form of historical oppression that may drive associated health and mental health inequities, Indigenous women in the United States experience sexual violence at greater levels than the general population and at and twice the rate of Indigenous men. We use the Indigenous framework of historical oppression, resilience, and transcendence (FHORT) to understand Indigenous women’s experiences of sexual violence and how it differentiates across ecological outcomes related to health and wellness. This exploratory sequential multimethod study with 563 participants ( n = 436 qualitative and n = 127 quantitative survey participants) qualitatively explores how Indigenous peoples describe sexual violence and quantitatively investigates key differences across ecological outcomes of wellness related to sexual violence, including alcohol use and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Results indicated that all participants (100 percent) who reported sexual violence were women. Thematic analysis of qualitative results revealed the themes related to familial, non-familial, and the historical oppression of a lack of accountability for perpetrators. Quantitative t -Tests results revealed that experiencing sexual violence was associated with significant differences across ecological dimensions of wellness including (a) structural: higher historical oppression, historical loss, oppression, and discrimination; (b) relational: higher adverse childhood experiences and stressful life events and lower family resilience and social support; (c) spiritual: lower spiritual-well-being and life satisfaction; and (d) psychological/behavioral: higher levels of alcohol use, PTSD, and lower levels of psychological resilience. Thus, sexual violence profoundly affected Indigenous women.

“…The main objective of an online support group is to help its members overcome life stresses through social support, while perceived community privileges have a stronger effect in identifying groups than perceived external independence (Chiu et al, 2006). Women who experience sexual violence and receive social support are reported to have higher self-esteem, positively impacting their health (Shahali et al, 2010). In Golding, Wilsnack, and Cooper's (2002) study, social support was shown as having a protective effect against psychological disorders in victims of sexual violence, especially because victims seem to get less support than non-victims (Mason et al, 2009).…”

“…Communications and relationships that support and assist victims of sexual violence, needed to manage a violent situation, are referred as social support and play an important role in the physical and mental health of victims of sexual violence (Shahali et al, 2010). Although victims seem to receive less social support from non-victims, any kind of positive social support might have a protective effect on the psychological symptoms of sexual violence survivors (Mason et al, 2009).…”

This paper attempts to analyze the role of an online social media movement in obtaining social support for women victims of violence. To mobilize and run a social movement in the online world effectively, we believe that trustbuilding is needed to create collective identity and collective action and also to support the three elements of a social movement (Campaign, Repertoire, and WUNC [Worthiness, Unity, Number, and Commitment]) (Carty, 2018). In this literature review, authors use a term and a model of trust in from Lewicki and Bunker (1996) to analyze the online movement as a positive space for social support among netizens and sexual violence victims. The authors believe that the trust-building model in the virtual community can also be implemented to achieve the movement's goals and to encourage victims of sexual violence to seek support through an online social movement.
