The Womxn Show - Incest And Child Abuse

In this episode, The Womxn Show discusses Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) and incest. We speak to Professor Vollie Spies about incest in family systems and Jameelah Omar joins us to speak about the legalities around historical sexual abuse and laying charges years after the offence occurred.
To round it off, Activist Shanice Appels provides insight on cultures of victim blaming, stigma and why girls are not 'ougat'.
Tune into The Womxn Show every Tuesday at 7pm and Sundays at 5:30pm on Cape Town TV and DSTV 263.
The Womxn Show is made possibly through funding by the Ford Foundation.

I told my mom when I was 12 that my "father" was SA me. It started when I was 4. My mom didn't believe me. She called me a liar and told me to go away. I stopped the abuse myself at age 12 by pulling a knife on my abuser. So I think it is very strange for incest to go on for years
