What Survivors of Sexual Violence Want When Disclosing Their Experiences in Person or Online: Qualitative Interview Analysis
Given that face-to-face interactions vary widely from the way in which we interact with others online, it follows that the way in which survivors seek to gain support from others varies across these 2 contexts. The findings of this study underscore the need for interventions aimed at educating individuals on how to provide support to survivors of sexual victimization, both in person and online.
