it is briefly mentioned that Jenny’s father is abusive (most likely sexually). the situation is quickly resolved, though there is some slight yelling (nothing too intense but could be triggering). the scene is around the 17:55 to 19:30 mark, give or take a few seconds.

Forest Gump is has some incredibly ableist parts, and the whole movie is framed in an inspirational way.
One big example is near the beginning when Forest becomes magically "cured" of his polio, when he is told to start running, destroying his mobility aids in the process.

Jenny works playing guitar naked at a strip club. The men in the club are really objectifying towards her.

It's never shown on screen, only implied, but Jenny is sexually abused by her father.
