We Support Victims of Sexual Abuse
Rabbanim, psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health professionals, heads of mental health organizations, community leaders, and more are joining together to issue the following statement.聽
While the world has certainly changed for the better over the last few years, we are still very far away from where we need to be when it comes to supporting victims of sexual abuse and their families.
We stand with the victims and their families and encourage the rest of the world to do so as well.聽
Our message to the victims/survivors:
We are here for you.
You are not alone.
We urge you to seek professional help.
You can heal and live a healthy life.
It is the responsibility of our community to eradicate evil from our midst. We as a community are responsible for defending and protecting victims. Victims are never responsible for protecting abusers.聽
