Hi All,

 

I am interested in finding research on survivors of sexual

assault/sexual abuse/battering who have reported the abuse and been

disbelieved and the impact that had on them. I am interested in

survivors who were abused as children as well as adults.

 

I have no idea where to start. Can anyone give me an article to get the

ball rolling? I have seen small mentions of this issue in passing but

nothing focused specifically on this.

 

Thanks,

Hello,

There is definitely research out there about the issue of negative

reactions and the impact upon survivors. Most notably, lack of social

support (which defined by some may include not being believed, or being

blamed for the abuse/assault) is one of the strongest risk factors for

developing PTSD after being raped. Here are some references that might

help:

 

Brewin, Andrews, and Valentine (2000). Meta-analysis of risk factors for

PTSD in trauma exposed adults. Journal of consulting and clinical

psychology, 68, 748-766. 

 

Ullman, S.E. (2003). Social reactions to child sexual abuse disclosures:

A critical Review. Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, 12, 89-121. 

 

I have also read research that PTSD is more common following rape than

any other type of trauma (~50% lifetime prevalence), and have read about

that potentially being connected to negative social support- I do not

have that reference immediately accessible though, but can find it if

you're interested. 

 

Hope this helps. 

Linda

PLEASE RESPOND AND FORWARD!!!

 

For the sixth year in a row, President Bush?s budget request falls far
short

of the amount of spending Congress authorized for the Violence Against
Women

Act? (VAWA).? Overall, his budget proposal provides only 54% of
authorized

funding levels for lifesaving domestic violence, sexual assault,
stalking

and dating violence programs -? and several programs would receive no

funding at all!? What?s more, instead of providing a specific amount of

funding to the program areas designated by Congress, President Bush
proposes

allocating funds to the states as a lump sum block grant , where the
funds

could be spent in a way that doesn?t correspond to identified
priorities.

 

The VAWA grant to reduce crimes against women on campus was authorized
in

VAWA 2005 for $12 million in 2006-2007, then up to $15 million for
2008-11.

This funding provides for campus prevention, services and training,
supports

collaboration between campuses and community law enforcement,
prosecution

and victim services agencies, and works to develop campus wide programs
to

change the attitudes and beliefs that give rise to violence against
women.?

In previous years, these programs were funded at $8.9 million .? This
year,

because of President Bush?s block grant proposal, we don?t know how much

money these programs will receive.?

 

YOU CAN HELP!!

 

If you experienced stalking, sexual or dating violence while you were a

college student, or if you provide services to college students who have

experienced violence,? please visit

http://www.stopfamilyviolence.org/282  ;

 to post your personal comments about why full funding for the Grants to

Reduce Violent Crime against Women on Campus are so important? We'll
compile

your comments into a booklet that will be hand-delivered to legislative

offices.???

 

Here?s a comment from a friend of a survivor:

During our junior year of college one of my best friends was raped by

someone we both considered a "friend." We were both shocked and hurt by
what

had happened. My friend had to travel over 60 miles to receive aid
because

our campus didn't have the resources to treat her for STDs and STIs. If
my

friend didn't have the resources to make the trip, what would she have
done?

Immediate treatment in cases of sexual assault and is essential. Until
we

come to the day when violence against women and men is no longer a
reality,

the government supported Campus Grants are vital and must be financed.

 

WE NEED MORE STORIES ABOUT WHY THESE PROGRAMS ARE ESSENTIAL!!!

 

Please visit http://www.stopfamilyviolence.org/282  NOW ;

to tell how the work you do makes a difference, so that we can help
convince

congress to provide full funding to  VAWA?s Campus Grants program area.

 

Our strength is in our numbers!!  

Please forward this message to students who value yourservices and other

service providers.
