Louise (2010), a survivor of childhood rape who preferred not to reveal her name, defined rape as being penetrated by a penis, finger or object in the mouth, vagina or anus against one's will. Thus, rape is a form of violation of a person's spirit. Additionally, statistics released in October 2013 by the National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children state that “one in twenty children have been sexually abused [and] more than 90% of children who have been sexually abused were abused by someone they knew . " In the case of children, therefore, the violation is more serious because they do not know how to defend and protect themselves. Although child victims of rape suffer from psychological problems and show symptoms of social dysfunction, some of them still manage to overcome the incident. Children of rape face various psychological effects that have specific symptoms that are obvious and relatively easy to identify. Furthermore, they are at greater risk of becoming alcoholics or drug addicts and tend to become sexually active at a young age (NSPCC, 2011). and lack of trust are common characteristics exhibited by victims (NSPCC, 2011). The child feels safer when surrounded by a crowd. Many cases, the abuser is close to the family, which is why the child does not reveal the atrocities suffered. Victims believe they are guilty and are afraid to reveal it because they do not want to destroy the relationship the family has with the abuser (Louise, 2010). Aggression unfortunately damages the child's life in the long term. They face major psychological effects such as post-traumatic stress disorder, trauma, and panic attacks (Louise, 2010).
