Breaking the Silence: Confronting the Hidden Epidemic of Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse is a cancer of the soul and, like any cancer, the best cure is love, understanding from family, friends and community.
Ever thought about the hidden battles many face every day? In this powerful episode of 'Healing Courageously', Randy L. Boyd dives into a topic that often remains shrouded in silence—sexual abuse. Describing it as a 'silent cancer', Randy sheds light on the staggering statistics: one in three girls and one in four boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18.
These numbers are not just statistics; they represent real pain and suffering that often lead to lifelong struggles, including addiction. Randy’s message is clear and urgent: we need to talk about this issue openly and provide unwavering support to survivors. He emphasizes the importance of listening without judgment and being mindful of our words, as well-intentioned comments can sometimes cause more harm than good.
Through his compassionate approach, Randy calls on everyone to make survivors a priority, offering them the love and understanding they need to heal courageously. This episode is a heartfelt plea for awareness and action, encouraging listeners to break the silence and support those affected by this hidden epidemic.
