Effects of Sexual Abuse on a Victim: SLLAPD - FINDLD - WGS

After looking through hundreds of case studies home and abroad; through the use of mnemonics I put together some sad emotions which Survivors of Sexual abuse commonly experience and summarized them to aid my memory as – SLLAPD - FINDLD - WGS.

1.      Shame & embarrassment

2.      Low self esteem

3.      Loss of Sex Interest

4.      Anger (at themselves & others, especially the opposite sex)

5.      Powerlessness and vulnerability

6.      Depression

7.      Fear

8.      Insomnia

9.      Night mares

10.  Detached feeling from people around

11.  Loss of concentration

12.  Distrust

13.  Weight loss or gain

14.  Guilt (responsibility for what happened)

15.  Suicidal thoughts

Hey there,

Look through those points again and try to imagine just one person feeling all these 15 emotions. How much good or productivity can come out of such person? If you have every abused anyone sexually - seek forgiveness from the victim and get Counselled. If you are nursing any idea to sexually abuse anyone- Kill that idea now! Sexual abuse has killed the dreams of many (ie through unwanted pregnancy or even suicide). Perpetrators of such evil act have destroyed lives, for a few minutes of ecstasy.

Join the fight against Sexual Abuse in Africa... start in your home country Nigeria.
