Sexual abuse is not a joke! So many sexual abuse cases are yet to be solved, so many sexual abuse stories are yet to be told, there are so many broken men and women, boys and girls who just tie It all together with a smile to cover up their pains. It doesn’t have to be that way; I chose sexual abuse not only to raise awareness but to empower victims, to promote healing, and to help persons to transition from being a victim to becoming an overcomer. There is this story of a girl that I know; it breaks my heart every time I think about it –she was molested by her uncle at the age of 6, and it didn’t stop there–she was sexually abused on several more occasions. She was even held at gunpoint once and while the perpetrator was stripping her clothes she asked him: “do you have a daughter?” He said:” yes”, she then asked him to imagine someone trying to rape his daughter just as how he was trying to rape her; he immediately stopped and allowed her to go. Today she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder syndrome (PTSD). PTSD is a disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of any life-threatening event.
In 2015 “Based on media reports and commentary from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), the authorities received 233 reports of rape, but only 36 persons were charged. In 2016 193 cases of child sexual abuse were reported. The “Take Back your freedom!” campaign will commence with series of seminars at secondary schools throughout my entrusted region. The seminar is to spread awareness on sexual abuse, distribute flyers & brochures and make known the intention to establish groups within the schools so that students can have a friendly space to share and empower each other. As a potential overcomer, I intend also to focus on the two P’s that comes with sexual abuse:
Pitiful -meaning: Deserving or arousing pity, very small, poor, or inadequate. Powerful- meaning: having great power or strength. It is time to subdue weakness and demonstrate power.
