Gender-related stigma toward individuals with a history of sexual or physical violence in childhood.

Background: Stigma is a key barrier to disclosing traumatic experiences of violence in childhood with adverse consequences for help-seeking behaviour. Disclosing behavior differs by gender and the form of violence experienced. However, there is a lack of comprehensive studies that address societal perceptions of males and females with a history of sexual or physical violence in childhood.

Victims of childhood trauma report shame and anticipation of stigma, leading to non-disclosure and avoidance of help.
