Society we live now has made it difficult for victims of sexual abuse to speak up, easy to point fingers but have skeletons in their closets. Sexual abuse can lead to rape if the perpetrators of this crime, continue to indulge in it without exposing them, how can this happen when they are accused of being responsible for the crimes they never committed.
Companies, universities, work places and other organized group of people are not exempted from this crime, you see the case of senior staff making sexual advances to junior staff, who is ineligible to speak up, due to hierarchy and the scared of being fire.
Ladies who think their bodies can get them far, make it hard for innocent ones to speak up, the mentality of having sex and get promoted, this kind of huge atrocities might be going on inside a reputable organization, taking advantage of workers who are financially vulnerable.
In some places in the world, it is seen as a taboo to talk about sexual related topics, or discuss it with somebody, in Africa parents will hide and be cautious enough not to say sexual related topics when their kids are around, until they become the victims of their own circumstances.
Even in political system, women who are often the victims, sometimes consider themselves non, because they viewed it as a leverage to what they want, it becomes the other way around, may be at the advantage of both parties, this is not to turn blind eyes on the evils of sexual abuse, how it has desecrated the norms of the society.
In the universities and colleges, lecturers and teachers respectively take the advantage of students who they have interest in sexually, to threatened them to fail if they failed to comply with his advances, taking turn to have sexual knowledge of these students, they could barely speak up, not only because they are scared, but the bounty society have placed on such act, they are to bear with this mischievous acts.
It has become continual debate, when victims of sexual abuse are condemned, saying that are to be blame due to the way they dress, leaving out all their sensitive parts exposed, even accused of being the ones to make advances first and come out later to claim victims. This case is too serious to fake it, but you can’t underestimate the power of desperate people.
In the streets, supermarket and other places, be a strong woman, respect your body, you’re not a sexual object don’t make yourself available for such crime, unless it is properly communicated and the bottom line was on consent.
You should be able to build a conducive society where everyone can live freely without the fear of unknown, encourage the victims of sexual abuse to speak up and condemn the act in all forms, it is a stain to dignity humanity uphold, everyone should be respected regardless.
In growing society, it is everyone’s business to participate and contribute to the development of the society, things should be said the way it is, not changing the law because of the social class of a person who committed a crime, they should be equal judgement not judgement according to class. Victims of sexual abuse should be able to speak, you’re doing yourself a big favour by doing so, not only letting out something that has traumatized you for years, but also freeing yourself.
