Abstract
The experience of sexual violence is widely recognised as one of the leading causes of numerous health issues for women [, , , , , ]. Every experience of abuse and violence is unique, but what makes the experience of sexual violence stand out is the embodiment of the abuse []. Earlier research has shown that sexual violence profoundly detaches women from themselves, from others and from the world []. This makes sexual violence uniquely harmful because it undermines trust in others and disrupts the expectations that are necessary for interpersonal functioning [], creating severe barriers to well‐being and negatively affecting women's health. Many young women experience sexual violence within their first sexual relationships and, in Sweden, sexual violence in peer relationships is relatively common []. In a national survey, 24% of women (aged 16–29) reported experiencing sexual coercion, and 19% reported experiencing physical violence by a peer during sexual activity []. Peer‐perpetrated sexual violence is defined in terms of the relationship in which the individuals involved are of similar age and social status, and the violence often occurs within a youth dating context. From an existential and caring science perspective, recovery can be understood as part of a process that strengthens health and supports well‐being []. Health can be described as the experience of well‐being, encompassing a holistic perspective on the human being that acknowledges both physical and existential dimensions []. Health can be further understood as the connection between well‐being and the ability to engage in activities that give life meaning []. When health and well‐being are present, a sense of movement and capability arises. In contrast, illness is often associated with feelings of immobility, being trapped and having limited possibilities []. When recovery is understood as a process of regaining the ability to engage in life in a meaningful way, it becomes significant to understand how such recovery is enabled. This includes a view of humans as beings who, in some sense, can transcend their circumstances. Since humans are not seen as determined but always in process [], this opens up the possibility of responding to our life circumstances, since existential freedom confers choice and agency on human life.
