Child sexual abuse is a human right violation covering a wide range of sexual activities perpetrated against children, mostly by someone known and trusted by the child.
Ever wondered why some conversations are so difficult to start? In this foundational episode of 'Challenging Taboo', hosts Adita Mouroujo and Marissa Samboukis dive deep into the heart of their mission: addressing the impacts of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and trauma. They kick things off by explaining the Stepping Out Program, a community initiative dedicated to supporting adult survivors of CSA in their journey beyond trauma.
With one in six women and one in ten men experiencing sexual abuse before the age of disclosure, the urgency of this conversation becomes clear. The hosts discuss how shame, guilt, and self-blame often trap survivors in silence, leading to social isolation and intergenerational trauma. The ripple effects are vast, touching mental and physical health, relationships, and even financial stability.
By starting this podcast, Adita and Marissa aim to break the silence and create a space for open dialogue about these often-ignored issues. They emphasize the importance of early intervention and community support in helping survivors reclaim their lives. Whether you're a survivor yourself or an ally looking to understand more, this episode is a powerful introduction to the crucial work of Challenging Taboo.
