Dear all,
I am working on an article about people who get sexually abused and never have the guts to ever open up to anyone about their horrific experience, it can be a guy or a girl who are abused, no restrictions to gender or stereotyping a man is always the abuser and woman is the victim, because it exists in both genders..
Sexual abuse leaves a deep impact on the mind on the victim and can even affect their relationships in the future, i.e. friendship, love and general dealing with people.. the inhibitions one carries with being too close to someone, i.e. being in love after they were abused previously.. that it was a mistake, an accident, but the guilt the victim carries is endless, they feel responsible for what happens and because of this fear never manage to open and share their pain... because they fear being judged... I have come across some people who look down upon people who were abused and think it was totally their fault and look at them like a tainted piece! They seek help from community services, esp in countries such as UK, US, Canada and others, in the UK, we have Samaritans and others but what about countries in the Middle East & Asia? What aid is available for victims? Considering this is a taboo topic, how do we tackle the issue of sexual abuse? how do you win trust from someone who has been abused? How do you change their thinking and make them feel safe? What would you do if the person you loved was sexually abused? would you accept them or dump them?
