Understanding The Magnitude of Sexual Abuse

Statistics paint a dark picture with a sexual assault occurring every 68 seconds in the U.S., and a child becoming a victim every nine minutes. Despite this, only around 2.5% of accused offenders face charges and convictions. The immense number of cases related to abusive priests further highlights the gravity of the issue.

Survivors of child sexual abuse often carry unseen scars, and may be at higher risk of:

• PTSD
• Depression
• Substance abuse
• Trust issues
• Attempts of self-harm
