Episode Synopsis

Rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse, a taboo topic ………. but is more prevalent than you may realise. We need to educate our children that sex, without consent, is not acceptable before it’s too late.
Thank you, Peter Dundon (AKA Benny) for joining me today. 
This series is on Sexual Assault. Benny and I have brought together the stats and information on the topic of Sexual Violence, the umbrella term used for Rape, Sexual Assault, and Sexual Abuse. Here are the links to the articles Benny and I referred to with definitions of the terms, the myths about sexual assault, and statistics. We have come to realise that the cases reported are much lower than actual instances as people are ashamed a feel they have no self-worth.

All 3 speakers have had mass destruction in their lives due to the continuous sexual abuse as children. All 3 speakers were abused for many years. All 3 speakers have taken many years to heal and find peace. It is not a linear recovery.
We need to educate our children about sexual abuse. We need to support those people who have been abused and as SARSAS tagline says, LISTEN, BELIEVE and SUPPORT.
