Transcript Narrator: Hello, and welcome to my project three podcast. The topic I chose for my project three was sexual abuse, violence, and harassment. My project three mostly focuses on the endangerment of children involving all the types of sexual contact and verbal harassment. In my written proposal I addressed my story, important statistics, and ways to create prevention and awareness.  Some objectives and procedures reach members through services such as apps, or just everyday awareness such as creating quilts and murals to give different perspectives to the ones who did not fall victim to an assault. These acts of awareness can assist members in understanding that they are not to blame, reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, aid in restructuring dysfunctional beliefs in regard to the sexual abuse experience, and lasly foster social reconnection. What do you think are some of the long term effects of being sexually abused? Well, the long lasting effects cause teenagers and young adults to have chronic depression, low self-esteem, sexual dysfunction, anxiety over sex, multiple personalities, post-traumatic stress syndrome, nightmares or flashbacks, drug and alcohol abuse, and lastly Children’s Stress Inventory (ESI). I then talked about my nieces, who could be potential victims of sexual abuse, due to my sisters dating life. I have witnessed my own sister not be so involved with her children. Just sending them to daycare and relying on teachers to teach all three of them, and bringing around a new guy every week exposing them to think this could be a new potential father figure. She is unfortunately not teaching her children simply about what could be a positive or negative touch, which puts them at a higher risk of not knowing what to do and not be able to trust their own mother for the help they need and deserve. Recently I have interviewed somebody over social media platform Instagram about her story. She did not want her name to be revealed but her Instagram tag was the only thing she said she would reveal to me. Narrator: I then thanked her for letting me interview her. She had made great points about reaching out and getting help is a great way to cope, I feel the next step in awareness is spreading positivity, and to continuing prevention and exposure to predators, through quilts representing how many survivors there are, to painting murals in low income and high income neighborhoods, to then creating an app for smartphones so consumers can interact and learn from one another. As u can see through basic information on child development defining sexual abuse and learning effective strategies we as a nation can prepare by creating tools for parents and caretakers to take actions towards prevention and awareness to keep everybody safe.
