It's easier to think about numbers than to think about children being hurt, particularly being hurt sexually. But we need to talk about sexual abuse openly to help people get the treatment that they deserve and need.
Reaching out for treatment means telling someone, and for many, that's a huge step that can seem undoable. Talking about it with someone can seem terrifying.
If you were abused, it's like someone stole your sense of safety. You learned that the world and people in it weren't safe.
Many adults haven't trusted anyone enough to disclose their childhood sexual abuse. Many haven't recovered and still suffer.
