- Abstract
This study examines the impacts of sociocultural contexts on the resilience development of female sexual violence victims, focusing on the character Grace Isabella from the Webtoon series Left Hand by Callistahermin. The research aims to determine whether the lack of supportive sociocultural contexts affects the ability of victims to develop resilience. Using the theoretical framework on sociocultural context and sexual violence by Dworkin & Weaver, the study employs content analysis of both text and images within the Webtoon to assess Grace Isabella's experiences and responses to sexual violence. The findings reveal that Grace Isabella, as a victim of sexual violence, is not supported by sociocultural contexts that can foster resilience. The society in which she lives is a gender-inequal society that intensifies her vulnerability. Without the support of positive sociocultural contexts, Grace Isabella is unable to cope with her trauma, leading to prolonged depression and an inability to recover fully from the violence.
