For White Ribbon 2022, Quetzal delivers online awareness-raising sessions about the impact of childhood sexual abuse on adult survivors.
The session is for communities and individuals who want to understand the issues attached to childhood sexual abuse and discuss what they can do to support survivors.
The session lasts 1h30min.
About the Session
The session will
- first frame childhood sexual abuse as the greatest betrayal of trust
- identify who are the perpetrators,
- define what is sexual abuse and childhood sexual abuse,
- explain how perpetrators make lies true,
- cover what our response to trauma is,
- describe the disorders born from trauma,
- and the maladaptive behaviours developed by survivors,
The session includes presentation and group discussions about the challenges for survivors to access counselling and what can communities do to support female survivors further and prevent childhood sexual abuse.
The session will end with each member choosing an action they will take to support further survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Who is presenting
Two Quetzal representatives – a staff member and a volunteer community connector.
