A world where women and children are believed. A world where ignorance is pushed aside and sexual abuse is handled with victims being free to speak out, encouraged to speak out. A world where abusers are prosecuted and put away where they can not hurt anyone else. I am getting old, 69 and I have known so many people who have been thru sexual abuse thru the years. I know survivors. My sexual abuse began in forth grade with a male teacher calling me to his desk where he put his hand in my shorts to see if I had hair down there. I told on him and was told that I could ruin a good man’s reputation saying things like that….you wouldn’t want to ruin a mans good reputation..thru the years many people have shared their experiences with me, probably because I believe them. I also believe in the possibility of a better world..Lets rise
