I agree with a great deal of what you say. The more people like you who are willing to speak out against abuse and to tell the world about the horrible reality of it all....the better.
I hope others listen too and you are right to write to MPs etc and give them the facts. Some will already know those facts. Some will have suffered abuse themselves and some, most worryingly, will be perpetrators themselves.
I'm not sure giving 11 year olds condoms is part of the solution, that could play into the hands of abusers but you are quite right. All our children need a firm, objective and non-scary education about the fact that no one has a right to hurt them or make them feel uncomfortable. And every child needs to know that they can tell and that when it comes to serious things there are NO SECRETS!
Well done you. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are right behind you.
Very best wishes
