The game is extremely violent and several characters die regardless of gender. Women are not specifically singled out, but the overall atmosphere is grim and brutal. Gender, femininity, menstruation, and pregnancy are all major underlying themes. Potentially triggering events (spoilers):
-The Queen of Yharnam is depicted with her wrists bound and wearing a wedding dress. She is pregnant and covered in blood near her womb.
-A female character is a prostitute. If she survives until the game's third act, she gives birth to an eldritch creature.

There's several eldritch alien babies you can kill, though they don't really look like babies.
Especially not the Orphan of Kos, who is newborn but also looks like an old man.

Women are unwillingly impregnated by Eldritch Abominations. This usually happens by magic shennanigans instead of direct assault, but I'd say unwilling impregnation counts as sexual assault.

Father Gasçoine's daughter Violet can be eaten by a giant pig or be tortured to death in medical experiments, depending on player choice (offscreen). When her sister Adelle finds out about this, she jumps to her death.
The final boss is an undead stillborn Great Old One and its nurse.
(Old Hunters DLC) The boss Orphan of Kos is a newborn eldritch abomination that must be fought and killed

The entire game is triggering. The whole of the what area is teeth itchingly bad but there are a dozen or more monsters and sequences that either rub up against trypophobia or outright are there to trigger. Miyazaki gravitated towards trypophobia triggers for squick factor in all of his games.

Hoo boy, strap in everyone...
Most enemies are mutated by the Scourge, a werewolf epidemic. One variant of werewolf is mutated to the point that it has exposed, rotten organs and a lower leg replacing its tail.
The Cramped Casket enemy is an appartment buildings worth of corpses all smooshed together from stuffing them into the same coffin and leaving them to rot in the street.
One enemy has its head mounted sideways and is infested with tapeworms.
The boss Brain of Mensis is a giant, undead brain studded with eyes.
On that note, "insight" is implied to grow eyes on the surface of the PC's brain. It's a pun you see...
The boss The One Reborn is a heap of fused, undead corpses used in a failed ritual intended to elevate mankind into Godhood, but resulted in, well, a heap of fused, undead corpses.
One boss is fought 3 times, becoming ever more decrepit as you do so. In the last fight, it's head has fallen off and been replaced by a parasitic worm.

Debatably you can "self-harm" by pressing up on the D-pad. Doing this sacrifices HP for extra "blood bullets," with an accompanying blood mist effect.

A character who is an old man in present day is shown to have had inappropriate obsessive feelings, most likely of a romantic nature, for a character who was his student when she was a young adult. Given that she has been dead for many years and he has an unnaturally prolonged lifespan, we do not know their relative ages during the period of their (one-sided) "relationship", but the visual ages of the character models could be seen as having a substantial age difference.
