Supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the Tamil Community
Childhood Sexual Abuse.
It Happens.
90%
Over 90% of sexually abused children were abused by someone they knew.
There’s an estimated minimum of 11 million adult survivors of child sexual abuse in the UK.
Around one in five adults have experienced some form of abuse in childhood, so you probably know a survivor.
Survivors often suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, isolation, anxiety and depression.
