Sexual violence is a dark cloud that surrounds people, especially women and children. It destroys too many lives, and sexual violence produces depression, violence, division, and suicide. Sometimes it takes more than five or even 10 years to address the psychological aftereffects of individuals who have been victimized by sexual violence, and treatment is extremely costly and difficult to recover from. So we must do a good job of prevention. Prevention has two most important aspects: one is to prevent sexual assault from children, so that children learn to protect themselves from an early age; The second is to accept sex education, replace wrong social prejudices and wrong patterns learned from pornography with correct sex education knowledge, learn to respect yourself, respect others, and do not hurt others, so as to reduce sexual violence.

For the past several hundred years, sexual violence has been a denial of human torture around the world, especially against women and children. People deny the prevalence of sexual violence and stigmatize children and women who have been raped. In the mid-1980s, when the diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association was revised, it was even decided to add “masochistic personality” to describe women who become depressed and manic after rape and domestic violence, in order to deny the existence and serious consequences of sexual violence.

Being raped is a kind of pleasure, and the idea that women crave the pleasure of being raped has become the wrong thinking of many people who have not received correct education and only learn about sex from pornography. This subconscious gives implication and justification to acts such as rape and contributes to the prevalence of the problem of child rape.

There are four characteristics of sexual assault today. One, concealment. For every sexual assault and rape, at least seven are hidden; Second, universality. For every 100 people, 26 May have experienced childhood sexual abuse; Three, the consequences are serious. Prone to depression, mania, and suicide; Four, nobody cares. The general disregard of society.
