In India, a country with little to no social security, families become informal networks of resource-sharing and caregiving. How does this affect child survivors of sexual abuse?
Very painful to even read this..hope that such writings give strength to more women to build effective resistance to abuse, and educate more parents to stand with their children and not with the abusers. It's like wishful thinking with the complex family structures as you have mentioned, but still every step forward matters.. More power to you !!
Thank you for voicing it out and as a parent I understand my responsibility more. And I am sorry for whatever happened to you, I hope you find some peace after jotting it down publicly, and thereby help people become aware of what needs to be changed. 🙏🏼
It takes great courage to pen down something so powerful, thank you so much for sharing your vulnerability in this wonderful piece. I am very sorry for what you've been through, I couldn't agree more on the bit you wrote on poor parenting. More power to you!
