Child sexual abuse: Listening to the victims
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is a global public health concern. We present real testimonies of adults recalling their childhood, clinical reflections and scientific research data. Patients’ testimonies bring professionals closer to understanding their painful reality. All testimonies are from women who gave their consent to use their statement. Doctors and health professionals need to know this reality and be prepared to prevent and cope with abuse.
