Erika Hansen's Platform: Child Sexual Abuse
I am one of the 39 million survivors of child sexual abuse that exist in America today. 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys are victims before they turn 18. I know the solution to this terrible problem lies in education. Child sexual abuse has been a taboo topic for too long...and considering that child sex abuse is reported up to 80,000 times a year it's time we start talking about it. I believe that education is the key....Erika Hansen
