Related: About this forumResponding with RAHMA can Save Lives
From the article:
With increased media attention on sexual violence, it seems that each week reveals a new accusation in the celebrity world. Although this issue is now getting the spotlight and it seems to many that there is a sudden increase in sexual violence, the reality is that for too long, these violations went unchecked.
.
However, the data remains grim: The CDC estimates that 1 out of 4 girls and 1 out of 6 boys are victims of sexual violence before the age of 18. There is no reason to believe that these numbers are any different in Muslim communities.

works just fine. No undefined acronym is required. Just leave the children alone! I especially recommend that advice for pastors and priests. They seem to be confused about that all too often.

With a thriving culture of cover up, extensive financial support, and a worldwide network of deniers and apologists, the only confusing part is when is the heat going to die down.
