The MOJ website tells us this morning that it would like to give male sexual abuse survivors the chance to have their say on the kind of support they would like to receive.
The government has recently committed £500,000 to the first fund of its kind to help male victims of rape and sexual abuse. The MOJ want you to tell them how you’d like them to spend it.
The news story also tells us that the MOJ are interested in hearing from friends and family of survivors, charities and support groups too, the more views the better.
We are also told that this effort is in conjunction with a social media campaign the government started in February this year called #breakthesilence. The campaign is, as you might imagine, designed to raise awareness of the fund and to encourage survivors to speak out. We think this is a brilliant campaign and we hope you’ll join in and show your support.
If you want to share your views, you can do so here. The dialogue closes on 13th July…..

I wish the MOJ would examine their own conduct in Family Court and the adverse effect this has on Families and society as a whole.

They should also look at the number of male suicides who were victims of sexual abuse.
They cannot speak now, can they?
Also the male victims I know will never tell a soul, let alone the MOJ.
It is still taboo to mention having been raped by a man of god. Consider the Bishop recently who was not sure if raping children was a crime.?
Everyone thought this was crazy, but to the men of god, this is not crazy- their belief is that they have a Divine RITE -RIGHT to molest boys- called the Molls in the past.
Now we have in Ireland training for judges etc- that child rape is nothing to a child.??? and it is just adults making a big fuss and making it worse for the children.
I want to know who is training legal profession to believe this?

Sexual abuse: eclipse of the soul
The trauma of childhood sexual abuse is almost incomprehensible. Here, Michael Corry and Aine Tubridy explain some of the consequences.
I’ve come to realise that sexual assault is an imposed death experience for the victim.
That is, the victim experiences her life as having been taken by someone else.

there could lets say maybe 1,000 victims of child abuse from the system who come forward, and it will be (where is your evidence) or you are out of time, so do we really think that just one abused person from a 1.000 will have a voice, I don’t think so.
