Abstract Rape is estimated to be one of the most severe traumatic stresses. The extreme degree of helplessness, the brutal encroachment of physical and personal boundaries, and the threat to life – all of the above make rape one of the most traumatic stresses. Violence has a severe impact on the physical, mental and sexual health of women and girls. It affects women throughout their lives and is a significant cause of injury, disability, and death. A psychosocial recovery system for victims is essential to prevent and respond to violence. The problem of psychological recovery after rape, under-researched and extremely serious, can be addressed at the level of social support through the Canadian government, non-profit organizations, and crisis centers. Introduction Sexual and gender-based violence is a horrible human rights violation. This type of violence perpetuates a stereotype of gender roles that denies the individual’s human dignity and brings human development to a standstill. In Canada, it is against the law to physically assault, threaten, or harass another person. Strong prevention and response measures are needed to reduce violence against women in Canada and provide the necessary rehabilitation to those who have already been abused. The most effective way to ensure the successful reintegration of rape victims in Canada is to equip the social support system with psychotherapy clinics, education, and outreach programs, as these will help accelerate their rehabilitation. The Psychological Effects of Rape on the Victims The problem of rape cannot be thought of in terms of physical harm alone. The trauma of rape goes much deeper than just physical harm and causes enormous psychological damage. The victim suffers significant psychological damage, which can take months or even years to recover from. Victims experience frustration, psychological distress, and trauma-phobic nightmares in which they fear reliving the experience (O’Donohue et al., 2014). Physical and sexual abuse is a particular type of trauma because the psychological fear of death and destruction is linked to physical actions and sensations. It has been argued that post-rape trauma is divided into two main phases – initial shock and an excruciatingly long recovery process (O’Donohue et al., 2014). This leads to difficulties in forming close relationships or may make them impossible due to avoidance. Trauma results from a disruption of natural psychobiological processes, not a mental pathology, and can be healed. It results from the body’s incomplete instinctive response to the traumatic event. Traumatic symptoms, such as helplessness, anxiety, depression, and others, arise from the accumulation of residual energy that has been mobilized by the encounter with the traumatic event. A weakened psychological state results in severe damage inflicted on the physicist due to excessive stress and exhaustion (O’Donohue et al., 2014). To free themselves from the captivity of trauma, most women turn to conventional psychotherapy, consisting of different strands of psychotherapy, such as psychodynamic approaches or supportive therapy. Although effective, many of these methods take months or years to
