This book covers the varied impacts and approaches of sexual abuse. Sexual assault is the expression of violence through sex. Repercussions of sexual abuse can have serious negative effects on a survivor's social and working activities. This book is planned towards that precise approach, by compiling scientific research of prominent scientists from all over the world. The emotional oppression of sexual assault, the physiological domain of sexual abuse, and the diverse attitudes in coping with sexual assault based on varied cultural backgrounds are analyzed. This book intends to 'break the silence' regarding sexual abuse by opening it up for debate and creating a space for changes in policy related to sexual abuse.
