Show abstract » Up to one in five women experience childhood sexual abuse (CSA) globally. Pregnancy and early parenthood might represent a time of heightened vulnerability for women who have experienced CSA. We aimed to describe disparities in social and financial resources, mental health, and parenting in pregnancy and early parenthood, between women reporting experience of CSA and women not reporting experience of CSA.
