It includes abuse of a woman, man or child by a man, woman or child. Under the umbrella of sexual abuse is molestation, which is the action of pestering or harassing someone in an aggressive or persistent manner, and rape whereby one penetrates another person with their privates.<\/p><p>The explicit nature of this topic might make you feel disgusted, distressed, embarrassed, angry and possibly triggered. Be reassured that it is normal to feel so. In fact, there are so many people around the world who have been victims to these kinds of abuse, including Muslims, who found that their culture blamed them, their fellow brothers or sisters dismissed them, or even worse, their families abandoned them.<\/p><p><strong>A victim, whether of Sexual Abuse or any other kind of abuse is someone who has been ill-treated and is extremely vulnerable and NOT blameworthy. To be blamed for being the cause of what happened to them is damaging to their entire being.<\/strong><\/p><p>It might be widely assumed that those who practice the religion may not encounter such an act. For doesn\u2019t our religion ask us to lower our gaze? Aren\u2019t we meant to cover as protection from\u00a0<em>Fitn<\/em>?
