Elizabeth June, known as June, grew up as the daughter of a single mother. Because her mother had to work, June was often left in the care of other families. During this time, she experienced sexual abuse from older children in those households, so frequent that she began to believe such behaviour was normal.

At just 12 years old, a family friend, a grown male she trusted, sexually abused when he stayed over. Two years later, at age 14, the abuse was repeated by the father of a friend, a trusted psychologist, and a church minister. Frozen in fear, June felt completely distraught and alone.

Tragically, her suffering did not end there; later, she raped by a married minister, another family friend whom she had trusted.

June’s story is a heart-breaking example of how abuse can come from those who are meant to protect and care for children. It highlights the urgent need for awareness, vigilance, and safe spaces for children, as well as the importance of believing survivors and providing them with support and justice.
