SAFELINE is
a voluntary association based in the UK which has been established
by people who were themselves sexually abused as children.
SAFELINE
CAN HELP YOU to FEEL SAFE
The
objects of SAFELINE are
to relieve suffering and advance education amongst people experiencing
the after effects of the trauma of rape and sexual abuse, without
distinction of gender, sexual orientation, race, colour or of political,
religious or other opinions.
Childhood
Sexual Abuse is not something new it has gone on for generation
upon generation and has been pushed "under the carpet" for
years.
Many
survivors have suffered since they were children, wondering who
can they tell? and will they be believed?
You
may have tried to tell people when you were younger and no one
listened.
You
may sometimes feel dirty and guilty and also want to harm yourself.
You
can sometimes feel very small and that the world is a big hostile
place with nowhere for you to be safe.
You
may lack confidence and have low self esteem.

EDUCATION
Members
of SAFELINE can facilitate
discussions on various topics e.g. understanding abuse, recognising
the effects of abuse, how to protect children, why children don’t
tell?
If
you belong to a group or organisation for example pre-school associations,
parents groups, women’s organisations or voluntary groups,
we would like to help you understand more by facilitating group
discussions and awareness training.
SAFELINE will
also facilitate workshops for professionals i.e. Social Workers,
Police, Child Protection Teams, Primary Health Care Teams etc.
