Introduction
The prevalence of child sexual abuse is difficult to determine because it is often not reported; experts agree that the incidence is far greater than what is reported to authorities. Sexual abuse not only
effects children, but is prevalent in the adult world as well. Sexual abuse is becoming normalized by the fast pace of our changing society, but for the people effected by it, nothing has changed much. Victims of traumatic experiences such as sexual abuse, can become depressed, suicidal, and develop a distorted view of sex.
Task

Create a detailed account of gender, class, race, and age groups, how to detect sexual abuse (what are the signs?), list 3 examples of how sexual abuse can be prevented, and tell me what you can do to be a part of the cause.
