Boys Are Also victims

0 29

Let us not forget that boys are often victims of abuse too.

Most boys at very young ages were used by their aunties,

cousins, housemaids, uncles, class teachers, even step

parents, for coital pleasure and sexual gratification. Lots of

boys lost their innocence to older women that were meant to

take care of them.

Yes, stories of these are not commonly heard. Probably

because boys are taught early to be "strong" and to endure.

Probably because these predators are important figures in

their lives, and who on earth would listen to them talk?

Let us also not forget that Men are not the problem. Female

children get abused by females too. This, is also not

commonly heard and often dismissed. It doesn't have to be a

man. Homosexuality is and has always been amongst us.

Let us not protect the girls from men and watch them be prey

to women.

This is honestly the time to take parent-child bonding

seriously. Be friends with your children and let them open up

to you without fear. When anything goes wrong or someone

makes advances at them, let them come to you. Let them not

be afraid to say:

"Aunty Douye touched my breasts"

"Uncle Peter watched me bathe"

"Sister Maggie sucked my penis".

Look out for obvious signs. Your child gets awkwardly quiet

when an uncle is around? Your child doesn't look comfortable

around a certain person?

Look out for the females, look out for the males too.

The gender is not the problem, The person is.

Nice! This is really an eye-opener especially to those organizations or offices that ONLY focuses on protecting women's right. Men, mostly young men became a victim too. It's not rare, it actually happens a lot! They were harassed by their uncles, or neighbors, etc. but there were no agencies that are willing to help raise the rights of these boys. Men are also vulnerable, they also need help. Equity is the key, regardless of gender, age and race
