Sexual Abuse is defined as undesired sexual acts of one person to another. There are three different types of sexual abuse: Non-consensual, forced physical sexual behavior such as rape or sexual assult, psychological forms of abuse, such as verbal sexual behavior or stalking, and The use of a position of trust for sexual purposes. There are many signs of sexual abuse. For example, unexplained injuries, torn or stained clothing or underwear, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), unexplained behavioral problems, depression, self abuse and/or suicidal behavior Drug and/or alcohol abuse, sudden loss of interest in sexual activity, or sudden increase of sexual behavior. If you notice these behaviors in someone, sexual abuse might be the problem.
I believe that sexual abuse is becoming a bigger problem in todays world. People take advantage of others and don't seem to have a conscience about the bad things they are doing. Being sexually abused is an extreme trauma and can change someones life forever. If there was a way to change the occurance of sexual abuse I would go to extreme measures to do so. If men are the abusers then something might be missing in their lives, such as a role model or loving parent. There is a program that can help called Coaching Boys to Men. This is shown to help show them morals and respect others.
In local areas we need to make people aware that this type of abuse is taking place in our comminity. If others are aware we will be more able to help. A support group can take place and think of idea to prevent sexual abuse.
No one should be afraid to report sexual abuse. There are many hotlines and website out there today to help!
