Sexual violence is public health issue, faced by approximately 840 million women (World Health Organization, 2025) and by 240 to 310 million men and boys in their childhood (UNICEF, 2025) across the entire world. Sexual violence is utilized to establish a power hierarchy between the perpetrators and survivors, being among one of the major influential factors behind migration and the displacement of vulnerable populations (Eberechi, 2017). The current project seeks to better understand this understudied phenomenon through qualitative interviews with 20 people who have migrated to the United States and have experienced, or felt threatened by sexual violence at some point, which forced them to leave their home country. This study uses Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2022)  to analyze and identify themes of commonality in their interviews. We hope to understand how sexual violence has played a role in people's migration stories and how sexual violence is an unfortunate common trauma that is experienced globally.
