Trauma often results when a woman is hurt by another person and it can affect her trust in people. Some women grow up expecting that other people will hurt them. As a result, they have trouble developing their trust.

Other women may trust others too easily and may also have difficulty in judging who is safe. They learned in their childhood that some family members that are close to them had also abused them. As a result, women learned to hand over their trust, even if the other person did not deserve it.

Certain sexual abuse can also have an effect on a woman’s sexuality. In some cases, she may confuse sex with love and care. This is because the one who abused her gave her attention and affection mainly through sexual contact. Experiences such as this may also put women’s life at more risk for unwanted or forced sex as an adult.
