Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault/Harassment

To be completely at ease with oneself and one's surroundings is a luxury very few get to enjoy in life. In fact, about half the world's population is in a constant state of unease due to the rape culture established in our society by the actions of the other half. For centuries, children across the world have been falling victim to sexual harassment, assault, or worse at ages when they don't even have the emotional growth to understand or cope with the trauma. Without the means to identify or name the assault, they are yanked out of their blissful childhood and thrust into a world of psychological issues that haunt them throughout their lives.
