I have recently become an advocate for survivors of child sexual abuse. I am looking for ways to bring more mainstream media attention to the matter outside of the big scandals, like Penn State.
What can we do as individual to change the statistics that 1 in 3 girl and 1 in 6 boys will be affected by sexual abuse at some time in their life before age 18? What can we do to get people to recognize that this is happening right in our own neighborhoods, in our families and in many cases, right in our own homes? How do we break the silence?
These are just a few questions for us to think about when considering what role we can play in stopping this pandemic.
Your thoughts?
