When a girl decides to report a sexual harassment or an assault, the first people to dissuade her will be her parents most especially her mother. Be it because she doesn’t want her daughter’s image to get tarnished in the eyes of future potential suitors or their families.

These may serve as a weakening point to a girls voice so early that it crumbles her ambitions, courage, vision, happiness and reduce her to a submissive timid and robot.

These pedophile starts abusing girls at a very tender age and are usually trusted family relatives a girl sees every day.

It escalates when a girl reaches adolescent. she becomes extremely self conscious because of creeps that prey on her innocent body.That might even be the bases she’s an introvert but parents hardly pay much attention.

Still when she’s an adult men say crude and dirty things to her in the guise of compliments and coerce her to illicit affairs that violates her self esteem.

An she’s not too old to be groped by a teenage boy who could be her son’s mate. These results to many psychological trauma faced by the female gender and they’re too ashamed to confide in anyone.

Dear women,young or old,beautiful or less,white or black,Muslim or Christian, no matter what your race,culture or value is your body is a sacred temple;a gift from God that you dare not allow any man to defile!
