Sexual abuse knows no boundaries, it occurs in every country, across all parts of society and age groups. Child sexual abuse or molestation is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation. Sexual abuse towards children most times go unnoticed. In March 2019, the police in England & Wales recorded 73,260 sexual offences against children. According to UNICEF, at least 120 million girls worldwide under the age of 20 (about 1 in 10) have been forced to engage in sex or perform other sexual acts, although the actual figure is likely much higher. According to a report on sexual abuse among children in Ghana conducted by the non-governmental organization "Plan Ghana" in 2011, revealed that out of 100 cases who had been molested or abused, 53 cases actually occurred at school. The other 43 took place at home. Roughly 90 per cent of adolescent girls who report forced sex say that their first perpetrator was someone they knew. Most often, abuse occurs at the hands of someone the child knows and trusts. Evangelist Ruthy @speakoutout shares her story with us and how she healed and is also helping others heal.

This episode talks about identity, race and its impact. Keeley Taverner and I discuss how counselling can help us come together to find who we are and our inner self.
Keeley Taverner is a British-Jamaican psychotherapist that started adulthood as a mother of two working as a cashier at Ikea while feeling trapped in an abusive relationship with a narcissist. Raised by her single mother on a London council estate where “schools housed us rather than engineer our minds for success”, she left school with no qualifications, prospects, ambition or self-belief.
From women’s refuge to fighting for a place at a university to coaching prisoners, to running her own practice, Key For Change, Keeley has boldly, passionately and courageously defied the odds -- and now she's on a mission to help others do the same.
“The more you become secure in yourself is the more you are less affected by people’s statements” – Keeley Taverner
