The issue that me and my group chose is child sexual abuse. I choose child sexual abuse because it’s a topic that a lot of people don’t like to talk about since it’s hard to talk about sexual abuse especially when it happens to an innocent children. I am passionate about this topic because I want people to learn about it and inform them about it. Child abuse should be an issue that everyone should be aware of because it can happen to anybody. Sometimes child sexual abuse happens in your family and people are not aware of that and most importantly don’t want to accept it. Through this project I hope to accomplish people knowing about child sexual abuse. Also to inform people of ways they can help someone who has been sexually abused and let them know that there is help out there and nobody should stay quiet. When I was in elementary school I met a girl she was always quiet and didn’t talk much she rarely smiled. We use to sit together so I would always try to talk to her we became somewhat close and one day she told me that her stepfather would abuse her she never said anything to her mom because she was little and she didn't really understand what was going on and her stepfather would tell her not to say anything. When she became aware of what was going on she decided to stay quiet because she didn’t know how her mom would react and she was scared. Once I graduated elementary school I never heard from her again I am sure she never told her mom or looked for the help she needed. This is why I want people to know they are not alone and to talk to their children about it so they won’t stay quiet and if it ever happens to have the trust to talk to someone and get help before it’s too late. Child sexual abuse does not only happen in the U.S it happens in other places around the world it is important to be informed about it there is not a solution to it and it will be hard to stop it but we can become aware of it and know how to help the victims.
