Challenge the Silence

‘We all thought we were the only ones this had happened to.’
One in six men will be sexually abused before they are 18.  These survivors have told their stories so others know that they are not alone.

If the Challenge the Silence link doesn't work, here's a story that has links to each of the 11 in the series: Challenge the Silence behind the screening.

Note:

Please keep discussion civil. Be nice and kind.

I decided to post this even though I haven't seen the videos. I heard about the series though NZ Herald article on 19 Apr, 2019 - 'Why didn't you like it?': The questions people asked after man was raped by a woman.

The NZ Herald headline reminded me of a comment someone made in a post here about not having heard about males being sexually abused. Also there's been a comment or two pointing out about the dearth of NZ related articles on male sexual abuse.
