    Stop Sexual Assault

    Have you felt like you are being forced by someone to be involved in a sexual activity?

    Think of a microphone, look how it helps us. It allows our audience, even those who are
    farthest from us, to hear every word we say because it carries our voice from one end of
    the room to the other. Voices are important things for humans. It would be an
    opportunity if victims are able to have a microphone to voice out their experiences and
    struggles with sexual assault.

    The goal of prevention is to thwart sexual assault before it can take place. It is possible
    to establish workplaces and communities where everyone is treated equally and with
    respect. To achieve this, intelligent policies, healthy relationships, and the promotion of
    safe behaviors are adopted.
    According to Cameleon Association Philippines, an organization advocating for
    Children’s Rights and against sexual violence, about 7,000,000 children are sexually
    abused every year in the Philippines.

    More than 70% of sexually abused children are between 10 and 18 years old. Among
    those victims, 20% are under 6 years old.

    Cases of child sexual abuse are one of the most common issues that the Department of
    Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has to handle after abandonment and neglect.
    Despite the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, rape remains the most frequent type of sexual abuse,
    followed by incest and fondling. 98% of rape victims are women. The incest percentage
    is another alarming data: 33%.

    Most children who are sexually exploited for commercial purposes are victims of
    prostitution or pornography. 

    Even though the total number of child abuse cases handled by the DSWD decreased, the
    number of child prostitution cases slightly increased. Most of the time, it is very difficult
    to have a clear view of the situation and even harder to take action since the bars and the
    prostitution and sexual tourism networks are controlled by influent politicians or people
    (locals as well as foreigners) usually connected to other criminal networks (weapons,
    drugs.) Likewise, while the total amount of internet pornography may seem quite low, it
    could be a lot higher if the victims had pressed charges or asked for help to public
    services. The same goes for child prostitution, sexual abuse and incest cases. Internet
    prostitution is more and more common in the Philippines, whether it is in urban areas or
    in the countryside.

    With the research conducted, therefore we can conclude that there is a big percentage of
    sexual assault happening in the country. With these means, we would like to give
    recommendations such as:
     Create programs that addresses the issues concerning sexual assault.
     Educate the community.
     Strict implementation of laws within a community.
     Break the social norms; address that all genders can be sexually harassed.
     Implement rightful penalty.
     Implement sex education.
    Sexual assault is something that we should bring attention to and find solutions for.
    Sexual violence is a widespread problem. It happens in every community and affects
    people of all genders and ages. Nearly one in five women and one in 71 men are victims
    of rape. Even for those of us who don’t directly experience it, we are all impacted by
    sexual violence because of how it affects communities and society—especially survivors
    and their loved ones.

    Sexual assault is a serious matter, it must not be taken lightly or as a mere joke because
    there are many consequences when this happens. Always be aware and be alert with your
    surroundings and to be vigilant to every person you interact with because many
    perpetrators of sexual assault are someone the victim knows.
