Seth grew up in an unhappy and abusive household. At 10 years of age he found an escape to the house of an older man who invited him to play video games and have pizza - a "kids paradise".. but before long the touching started, and this progressed to expose Seth to sexual experiences no child should be put through.

When, at 15, a friend opened up that he too had been touched by this man, they went together to report him to the police.

Hear Seth's brave story and his desire to support other victims to recognise the power in speaking out. He wants others to learn to focus on healing themselves, as he has learnt to do for himself.

Violet's earliest childhood memory is of being abused. She was prostituted by her mother from a young age, then "bought" by her grandfather to suffer yet more.

At some point, she turned the page, and started writing her own story. She now has an organisation that supports others who have suffered.

This is a heartbreakingly honest story, from a woman who has found hope where we might assume there was none to be found. As Violet says, "As long as you are breathing, there is hope".

Annie spent years carrying the shame of her abuse, and trying to bury it within herself. When people first heard of her abuse she was victim blamed and made to feel disgusting. Finally someone told her "this was not your fault" and she was able to believe it. What message of support would you give to Annie?

Anu's story is so inspiring. She leads us through the very troubled life that started from experiencing childhood abuse, but ultimately her story is one of positivity and inspiration. The life she has now created for herself now is a far cry from the years she suffered to get there. She wants you to know you can get there too.

Maybe as a child you thought your abuse was your fault. Maybe you think you are coping with what you have gone through, without needing to tell anyone. Maybe you feel “ok”. Karen thought all these things. But 36 years later, when a triggering situation brought her past crashing into the present, she realised that talking was her best option. She tells us how “opening up about my abuse allowed me to feel again”.

Oliver was abused as a teen, and utterly let down by a mother who “didn’t want to make a scene” when he spoke up, and so left him unsupported.  And still Oliver speaks of the good it did him to speak about his abuse, how it “let off a pressure valve”. This is a really inspiring story. Please watch and comment – how has this affected you?

Nancy’s daughter was the victim of abuse from the age of 7 at the hands of a family friend. She will never regret immediately believing her brave daughter when she spoke out. She started to connect her gut feelings with past incidents from previous years, realising the importance of giving them greater attention. Her story is tragic, but she is determined to reveal some of the things she’s learned to other parents.
