RAPE VICTIMS: THE DEVASTATION THAT FOLLOWS !

Rape is a brutal and heinous act that leaves its victims shattered and traumatized. The physical and emotional scar can last for a life time.Rape victims often suffer from past traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression.They may struggle with relationships, have trouble concentrating, sleeping, and can also develop substance abuse problems. Recovering from rape is a long and difficult road, but it is possible with the right support , victims can heal and go on to leave a happy and fulfilling.
 
THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF RAPE!
When some one is raped, the immediate aftermath is often shrouded in confusion and disbelief.Rape is a shocking and violent act, and it can take a while for the victim to process  what happened.In the hours and days after a rape, victims often experience a range of emotion, including disbelief, anger, shame, and fear.

Many victims play the assault over and over in their mind and spirit.
 
PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RAPE.
The physical psychological effect of rape can be devastating and long lasting.Victims may feel shock, fear, betrayed ashamed and guilt.They may even blame themselves for the attack or feel like they are not worthy of love.The isolated and alone attitude of a rape victim leads to a horrific and traumatic painful life's event which they will carry with them for the rest of their life.


 THE RAPE CULTURE AND SOCIETY.
 
The criminal justice system almost never brings perpetrators of sexual violence to office.Society often make excuses for perpetrators or find a reason why victims and survivors "ASKED" for what happened to them or some how deserved it.
 
People so often don't believe victims and survivors whether that's family and friends. The police, jurors or people reading about cases in the news.
 
9 in 10 girls and young women in school are being sent unwanted "DICK PICS" and other images of sexual nature .
 
1 in 2 survivors of rape in adulthood have experience it more than once.
 
Most survivors of rape don't report it to the police,. Many say its because they are too embarrassed, that they think it will be humiliating or that the police couldn't help.Rape is essential decriminalized in the world at large.In other words, most perpetrators of rape get away with it and never face justice. All of this is bad enough. But what makes it even worse is the message it sends.The fact that our society thinks sexual violence and abuse is okay, or at least not bad. 
 
Sometimes , we also talk about women and girls being "OBJECTIFIED" on hyper sexualized  from a young age.By this time , we mean they are viewed as object that exist to entertain , serve and satisfy men's pleasure. 
BUT WHY IS THIS ?
Well, we believe its because we live in a society where men hold the most power , what is sometimes known as 'PATRIARCHY' 
 
Its not coincidence that the majority of victims and survivors of sexual violence are women and girls. Or that most perpetrators are men .Because , when society views women and girls as less deserving of respect and power than men and boys , it treats them that way too!
 
If you or some one you know has been raped, it is important to see professional help.There are many organization that can provide support and assistance to victims of rape, and help them to heal and recover from this traumatic experience.

ABUSIVE CHILDHOOD.

 THIS MAN TOOK MY CHILDHOOD DAYS! It seems like I lost my childhood looking back. My mom didn't want me either after my dad passed away when I was very little.That experience alone, in retrospect, was sufficient to make me hide.Maybe that made me a target because I was a young boy who was sad and missed his dad. John is a 25-year-old recent medical graduate who has successfully completed college and is about to begin a career in medicine. John has sought counseling to address his past experiences with abuse. The fact that this young, intelligent, and charming youngster appeared to be relieved after sharing his story during this specific interview made it all the more noteworthy. He was obviously delighted to be rid of the weight of his childhood based on his body language.He was able to look more directly at me this time, stood up straight, and smiled without effort. In order to recover from this kind of trauma, you must face it and realize that what happened to "you" doe...
