Myth vs Fact

In today’s episode we spend time tackling some of the harmful myths around child sexual abuse and other forms of child abuse. We touch on a wide variety of different myths like how we believe strangers are the most likely to abuse children, that boys can’t be sexually abused, and that children false reporting CSA is happening at high rates. By us continuing as a society to treat these myths as fact we in turn leave many children and survivors of child abuse with detrimental lifelong suffering and adds to the continued stigmatization of abuse survivors and their experiences.

Trigger Warning: Topics include child sexual abuse, physical child abuse, emotional abuse, victim blaming, and possibly other sensitive topics.
