Jocelyn's abuse was only made worse by family members who refused to acknowledge what she had suffered, and expected her to remain quiet.

Her haunting story reminds us why teaching children the correct names for their private body parts is so vitally important.

Jocelyn knows the value of having a safe space to share her truth. She does that here with all of us.
