Exploring Cycles of Sexual Violence Against Women and Children as Oppression, and the Role of Federal Intervention
Considerable research has been conducted in the discipline of psychology (broadly) and trauma (in particular) on the effects of sexual violence on the emotional, mental and physical health of women and children (Herman 1992; Perry 2006). I aim to expand this discussion by labeling sexual violence as a specific form of oppression and to explore the political implications of this specific oppression, focusing on sexual violence as a unique type of societal marginalization. Finally, I consider the federal response to address various related issues, including prevention, victim support and legal redress. Theoretically speaking, what policy hurdles do advocates face in achieving effective legislation and federal enactment? How do societal stigmas related to sexual violence impede the policy process?
