My name is Rei, and I am studying child abuse for my social justice project. I chose this topic, because child abuse is a very hard issue to talk, and think about. And we may think that we are not part of it, but in reality, 1 in 4 girls, and 1 in 6 boys will be victimized by child abuse before the age of 18. And out of those children, 1 in 10 of their cases are reported. This means that at least one of your friends that you know and love, is victimized by child abuse. Together, we can work together to raise awareness, and help put an end to child abuse once and for all!
