#ListenUp Wk12: WHAT'S THE THE BIG DEAL ABOUT RAPE AND CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE?


Yay! It's time 2#ListenUp! Join me as I welcome @CessoKay , a woman of #Faith #Experience and #Depth. Welcome, ma'am!

Txs @kemi_odutayo for the invite on #ListenUp and to talk on a topic I have devoted my life. Seeing reduction in this inhuman act, justice..

Once again, thanks. Good evening to all. I am warmly addressed as Dr. Princess. @kemi_odutayo has shared my background.  #ListenUp

We shall be having a Twitter discussion on What's the Big DEAL about Rape & Sexual Abuse? A huge lot. If it can quantified so. #ListenUp

1. The impact of sexual violence on the individual victim, family, loved ones, communities and nation at large is enormous. #ListenUp

2. Everyone person in society  is vital in reducing rape & sexual abuse to barest minimum. There's no single sector responsible. #ListenUp

3. As a developing nation, we will continue to crawl until we rise up and take this seriously.  In past 3 years, the world over.. #ListenUp

4. So sorry, network is interesting today. #ListenUp...

5. Past 3yrs the world over, the hidden things are being exposed. High & mighty individuals & institutions are answering ... #ListenUp

6. ...to the world of secret crimes decades past. Australian Royal Commission, BBC Jerry Saville, the Vatican, Boys Scout.. #ListenUp

7. ..Anglican Church, Jewish Community home & abroad, UK scandals, Ireland, schools, police community, parents as a couple or... #ListenUp

8. ...or as an individual. The list is unending. Every faucet of life is affected. The experience of childhood has become extinct. #ListenUp

9. One big question I want to throw at u is,What do I contribute to rape and sexual abuse? Definite answer "Me, no way! Nothing.. #ListenUp

10. However, everyone has contributed to existing carnage. The plague of sexual violence has excavated becos of a no. of reasons. #ListenUp

@solazed Precisely my point Uncle Sola. Who makes up society? You and I. #ListenUp

11.Society decides roles of sexes, behavioural expectations, attitudes & more. Sexual discussions is a sacred topic 4 both sexes.#ListenUp

12.Meanwhile that is only scratching the surface. Major hindrance has been a huge lack of understanding of consequences of rape #ListenUp

13. It's great to see a handful of survivors step out 2 share their experiences. Compared to those affected, the no. Is gigantic. #ListenUp

14. What we are seeing is the downfall of humanity. Where humans derive pleasure in harming & humiliating another without remorse. #ListenUp

15. Back to the old ways - Charity begins at home. Today's family from the past 3 decades has seen some modern reforms ...#ListenUp

16. ...reforms that has partly contributed to the badly shaped home front. We are raising children we do know & pretend we do. #ListenUp

17. The boys & men raping, making pornography, etc. 'to pro' as it was called in my youthful days in the 80s. It's has been been. #ListenUp

18. In my youthful days,  gang raped was real. The parents of the boys would not for ever believe their sons could indulge... #listenUp

19. ... in such cruel behaviour. Now, attention is drawn to it... Yet, society still plays ignorant. The affected women, girls ... #ListenUp

20. ...in such unholy behaviour. Most families are traumatized when it's discovered that their sons are in gang rape. Imagine ...#ListenUp

21.. imagine if discovering yr son is involved in gang rape & u are that traumatized, what do u think the victim is going through? #ListenUp

22. When we begin to learn to emphasize once again, society will begin to redirect it's communities to produce human outcomes. #ListenUp

23. Outcomes like being my brothers keeper.
When I was growing up, if u showed up at the stall of woman selling sweets with...#ListenUp

24... A high denomination of currency. She would seize the cash & ask for your parents. Either u get them or not, she will... #ListenUp

25...take it upon her self to draw their attention to the money. The child was raised by the community. With all that effort...
#ListenUp

26. ..Sexual abuse still occurred in all its forms. There are various types such as incest, rape, gang rape, child sexual abuse.. #ListenUp

27. ... marital rape, child pornography, exposure to pornography, digital penetration, male sexual violence & more. The world is..#ListenUp

#ListenUp @CessoKay A shame what our society has become. But fro yr experience, wot is the rationale of some1 that abuses a child sexually?

#ListenUp @CessoKay In all these cases esp incest, is it that the perpetrators take temporary leave of their senses? @solazed @Okornore

@kemi_odutayo @solazed @Okornore  #ListenUp In no case is anyone without their senses. These are highly intellectuals in plotting their game

@CessoKay @solazed @Okornore Hmmm. Even a father sleeping wit is daughters? @yinkanubi @wendypendy2000 @praisefowowe @BridgetElesin #ListenUp

@kemi_odutayo  #ListenUp Reasons of persons (male or female) who abuse children sexually varies. Some were sexually abused ...#ListenUp

@kemi_odutayo  #ListenUp ..as children, some believe they are doing just fine, some recognize it's wrong - sexual inappropriate  behaviour..

@kemi_odutayo  #ListenUp ... for some it's to feel power and control, for some it's just opportunity, for some unusual stress, some don't...

@kemi_odutayo  #ListenUp ..some don't realize the damage they are causing 2 destiny of another human being. It's no excuse their behaviour.

#ListenUp In the course of years of work & research. We observed a certain pattern in the perpetrators.

The abusers have been sexually abusing mostly members as far back in their lives. Their relatives who lived with them or they lived with #ListenUp

A  behaviour pattern has been developed over time. Behavioural psychology maintains a number of theories. #ListenUp

One states repetition alone brings mastery...#ListenUp

28. The world is full of cruelty &  it's getting worse. Technology has brought new dynamics - access 2 Internet (global village) #ListenUp

29. A child that has been sexually abuse is very prone to be sexually abused continuously and at different phases of life.  #ListenUp

30. I try to relate it to a US tuna saying - when. Witches have marked a person, wherever he or she goes - the witches there ...#ListenUp

31...welcome fresh meat. This trend is found mostly in children who were sexually abused. Research studies have found these trend. #ListenUp

32. They most times don't live to full potential. Even when they do have a PhD. For a developing nation, that is disastrous. #ListenUp

33. It's also a recipe for the continuation of sexual violence. Becos some turn out to be sexual abusers, some become miscreants. #ListenUp

@CessoKay So what is the way out for them? To ensure that history won't continue to repeat itself in their lives? #ListenUp

@kemi_odutayo #ListenUp Way out is for the a holistic package. The health sector needs to be upgraded to include mental health ...#ListenUp

@kemi_odutayo  assessment and treatments, give opportunity for those with sexual behavioural disorders, addictions seek treatment. Give attention

@kemi_odutayo  ...to those who have been abused to go through counseling and also treatments. Educate society and develop capacity of..

@kemi_odutayo  ...of First responders to understand the dynamics of sexual abuse... if a person recognizes the problem buffeting them &...

@kemi_odutayo  ...cry for help with society assuring them of help. Why not? I worked with an addicted rapist two years ago. He is doing fine

@kemi_odutayo  because he came to that crossroad...#ListenUp

34. There quite a number of movies now on sexual violence. Anyone seem 'Addicted' It's rated 18. Perfect family right. Raped by..#ListenUp

35. ..raped by 3 boys at 10. That memory was repressed for decades. It was came crawling back. Can she be blamed for rape at 10? #ListenUp

36. The damage to individual lives and society is too grievous for society to turn a blind eye. Look at our society. We have ...#ListenUp

37. ..Who need young blood to prove to themselves they have sexual prowess. Sex is for a penny. Sexual disorders prevail now...#ListenUp

38. We have a lot sexual disorders in our society but there are few outlets that have capacity to deal with these challenges.....#ListenUp

39. We cannot really crown this topic in one straight Twitterthon. I want to say txs 2 #ListenUp for giving me the space to be myself.

"@kemi_odutayo: @CessoKay Ma'am, this has really been so enlightening especially for me too. It's really an honour having you.#ListenUp" Txs
