Due to sexual abuse wrought on her by a man who had lived in their home; a man supposed to watch and care for her, she had learnt not to expose to the world her soft under-belly. Just like Queen Latifah, statistics show that 90 per cent of sexually-abused children know their attackers. Yet, if these men were to take a critical look at their lives, they would recognise their experience for what it was; sexual abuse. Only 12.5 per cent of these women and three per cent of the men sought help after the abuse happened. Additionally, do you know how safe your child is when they visit relatives or go for sleepovers at a friend's place?
