Why it has happened?

 

Today’s topic is very sensitive, and it is difficult to even talk about it. It is about sexual abuse — whether it happens to a girl or a boy. Yes, it can happen to anyone. Our children are not completely safe anywhere, and that thought itself is frightening.

We often ask:
Why did this happen to him or her?
Why did someone do this to them?

Sometimes it feels like kindness is disappearing from our world. How can someone treat another human being this way? We call them rapists, criminals — and they are responsible for their actions. But the pain they cause stays with the victim for a lifetime.

I keep thinking — even after we support victims, why can’t we stop this from happening in the first place? Why do we wait until someone becomes a victim? Why do we blame luck or fate instead of questioning the mindset that leads to such crimes?

We need to raise our children with strong values, teach them about boundaries, consent, and respect. We need open conversations at home and in schools. Silence only protects the wrong people. Awareness and education can protect our children.

Most importantly, if something ever happens, it is never the victim’s fault. They should not feel ashamed or alone. They deserve support, justice, and healing.

Let’s stop normalizing harmful behavior. Let’s teach respect. Let’s be brave and stand up for our self-respect and for the safety of our children.
