Mediation by stigma/discrimination of the relations between reported sexual violence and general functioning. Total effect: β = .15(95 % CI: .02, .30). Total indirect effect: β = .07(95 % CI). Total direct effect: β = .08(95 % CI: −.07, .22). The β below the continuous line from reported sexual violence to functioning represents the total effect of reported sexual violence on general functioning while the β above the dotted line represent the effect of reported sexual violence after stigma was added to the model as a mediator. Approximately 47 % of the effect of reported sexual violence on functioning is mediated through stigma. The direct effect of reported sexual violence on stigma reduced and became insignificant (β = .08 (95 % CI: −.07, .22)). All analyses were adjusted for age, duration in captivity and clustering by districts
