We must acknowledge that sexual abuse thrives in secrecy and silence, and it's time to break that cycle.  This week, let's prioritize raising awareness, educating ourselves, and supporting survivors. By fostering open discussions, providing educational resources, and offering empathy, we can dismantle the barriers that perpetuate this harmful behaviour.  Let's make this week a catalyst for change, where we collectively strive to create a culture of accountability and support. Together, we can empower survivors, hold perpetrators accountable, and foster a community where speaking out against abuse is not only encouraged but embraced.  Join us in our mission to break the silence and prevent sexual exploitation and abuse.
