En français, le terme «victime» suggère une personne qui pâtit des agissements d'autrui tandis que le terme «survivante» décrit une personne qui s'en sort. «Victime» est utilisé dans un deuxième sens, cependant, pour désigner une personne qui a subi un acte terminé; dans ce sens, victime est l'équivalent de «survivor». Le masculin de «survivante» est «survivant». 3, record 5, French, - survivante
