Talking about sexual abuse
On Thursday's programme you can hear Liz who is 20 years old talking about the sexual abuse she endured at the hands of her stepfather for eleven years. She's an amazing woman.
Her Mum is going to talk to us too.
The reason is because despite years of campaigning, so many people who have been abused still don't tell anyone.
Why not? What's stopping people?
You can here the entire interview with Liz and her mum here (you'll need realplayer for this)

why is it that no one is talking about sexual abuse directed at boys?. poeple are only talking about the one directed to girls not knowing that boys also suffer even more than the ladies when it comes to sexual harrasment.
Why is nobody asking the obvious question - why does sexual abuse of children happenat all? How do we stop it from happening? What is wrong with these people?
Yes we need services to support and help the victims. Yes we need to prosecute and punish the offenders. But it would be infinitely better if it could be stopped from happening at all. Is there any research being done on this?
whos not talking about sexual crimes against boys. many boys children now adults have been engaged for alot of years in raising awareness about these issues. read the historic abuse systemic review from scotland tom shaw authour itsays all but has opened up new thinking about what people need and what shape and form future services should be this is an important piece of work initiated by survivors for all survivors the snp have accepted all the reccommendations its about time that all survivors their groups their leaders got their act together in ajoined up way to lead the way in law in policy and in care its better to speak up but only when you are ready
Sexual Abuse happens to children because these people are power freaks. They love to have what they want at anyone's expense for their own gratification. It might not always be about sex, it sometimes could be just make them feel that thay're in control over evrything that's around them - they're sick!
Keeping it a secret is all part of the control game, it's the same with domestic violence and abuse, it's using force and subtle ways to manipulate people to control them.
Answer: Well, i truly believe these people should recieve very harsh punishments as well as Psychological help at the same time, remember these people do it deliberately alot know exactly what they're doing they don't care. That's my view!
