Sexual violence (SV) victimization is a haunting truth for many individuals in the USA, especially young adult women.
Our research is dedicated to amplifying the voices of SV survivors—voices too often silenced or overlooked.
Sexual violence is an umbrella term for all types of sexual acts for which consent is not obtained or freely given.
According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), nearly 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men experienced sexual violence victimization other than rape at some point in their lives.

Co-rumination about sexual trauma
Co-rumination is a social interaction where two individuals talk about personal problems frequently and repeatedly (Rose, 2002).
Our recent study examined what goals female SV survivors wished to achieve when co-ruminating with their female friend about their sexual trauma.
