What measures can I take to ensure my safety and privacy if I choose to speak out about my abuse?
Across the nation, there are civil and criminal laws established to protect individuals who have experienced sexual violence, particularly if they were minors at the time. In several states, specific legislation has been enacted to empower survivors of child sexual abuse to pursue legal recourse while maintaining their anonymity. This crucial provision not only safeguards your privacy but also enables you to engage in the civil proceedings with utmost safety and confidentiality.
