Here goes the topic I least imagined coming to ponder on for too long, let alone birthing an article from. Not because I am out rightly insensitive to the plight of those that are/were sexually abused, but because I am like most inhabitants of the world, who do little or nothing than form a pity party with abused persons.         What actually jolted me was born out of the chat I recently had with an American, Megan Manigault, the initiator of I am VOICES (Vibrant Open-hearted Innocent Confident Empowered).         Now I’m sure I just succeeded in making you take another glance up at the caption.         By the way, I am VOICE is a Non-Governmental Organization that not only aim at raising awareness that people are actually being abused sexually around us though we might be totally oblivious of that, she also wants to uplift and empower people in other to heal and use their own voice to change their world.     ...
