>> >> Child Sexual Abuse : A Definition

Child sexual abuse is ANY SEXUAL ACT directed at a minor.

It includes:

Sexual touch or fondle
Sexually explicit talk or hint
Exposure to sexual activity or pornography
Rape or attempted rape

Child Sexual Abuse affects the child negatively, causing many ill effects, such as:
Fear, shock and confusion	Shame, guilt and anger
Constant illnesses	Social withdrawal
Future exploitative relationships	Inappropriate sexualised behaviour
Still, most children quietly suffer, and don’t talk about Child Sexual Abuse, But WE need to talk about it, so that WE can PREVENT IT and CURE IT.
