Samenvatting:

Never before, as this moment, have I felt more committed to talk about the topic of sexual abuse. For a long time I have been a witness to the lack of interest towards this situation. Sexual abuse victims are people that are still alive. But they are dead inside with countless disabilities and enormous traumas that are often incomprehensible and very difficult to overcome. Very few want or dare to talk about this subject. Most prefer to ignore it but, this does not change the statistics which grow each day dramatically. One out of every three women will suffer sexual abuse at some point in their life. This is the sad and cruel reality. I hope that this book, besides helping victims, will help the civic and religious authorities to be aware of the problem.
