Based upon real life stories they focus on the little we know as a society about sexual abuse and just how wide spread this serious social problem actually is. This secrecy is fuelled by shame and guilt. Furthermore it is perpetuated by a society that struggles to openly discuss sexual abuse.
If we openly discuss sexual abuse in a healthy and informed way then perpetrators of sexual abuse will find it much more difficult to carry on undetected. As a society we need to become much more aware, to create a safer world for children. Similar to the advances in dealing with domestic abuse over the last twenty years, we can challenge the penumbra world of secrecy where sexual abuse so often thrives.
