Victims of sexual violence, after the traumatic event, experience some physical, psychological and behavioral changes. Not every victim gives the same reaction to the trauma. Although, some of them might return to their ordinary lives very easily, some might not cope with the intense effects of trauma and might develop some psychological disorders. To help their healing process, and to be able to get the necessary information from the only witness of the crime, having a non-judgemental and empathic attitude toward these victims is very important. In order to have that kind of attitude, it is crucial to try to understand them. This study aims to raise awareness about the victims’ experiences of the traumatic event, their possible reactions to the situation and how they are affected by this traumatic event. The target is to provide a different perspective, especially, to the professionals who work with sexual violence victims.
