Describe the challenges faced by women working in victim services.
What will be an ideal response?
There are many challenges that women working in victim services face. First, victim advocates are exposed to stories filled with physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, and it can lead to burnout. Second, many advocates experience emotional exhaustion due to the high levels of on-the-job stress; this can lead advocates to become less connected to their work and their clients. Third, advocates may experience their own psychological strain or secondary trauma stress, which is similar to PTSD.
