Child sexual abuse has emerged as major concern these days. But the reality is this dark side of our society was always present, in every nook and corner.
Madonna - The pop legend was raped at knife-point just at the beginning of her career. Madonna opened up about her traumatic experience after about two decades of the incident. She said this was her first impression of New York City. She also said that as the very experience was violating enough she didn’t report it to police to get involved in further humiliation.
Oprah Winfrey – The queen of talk shows Oprah was just nine years of age when she was raped. It was her nineteen year old baby sitter her who apparently was also her cousin. But this was just her introduction to the world of sex abuse and not just a one incident. She suffered this trauma time and again at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend, a family friend, and her uncle while staying in Milwaukee.
Kalki Koechlin - Kalki Koechlin is among the few Indian celebrities who opened about a disturbing childhood. In an interview with NDTV, she revealed the shocking incident. The bold actress also expressed her disapproval with media’s action of making such a gloomy experience of someone’s life a news headline, just because she is a celebrity.
Lady Gaga - Lady Gaga came up with the shocking revelation of being raped at the age of 19. According to an ANI report, the songstress’s song ‘Swine’ speaks of this disturbing truth of her life. The pop singer also confirmed that with the help of proper therapy she has been able to overcome these horrific experiences and is able to laugh at them now. She added that years later when she confronted the rapist she was paralyzed with fear and realized later that the 20 year senior music director was basically messed up to the core.
Anoushka Shankar - Anoushka Shankar has also been a victim of sexual abuse as a child. The Sitar player admitted this during the video release of a global women’s rights campaign. Shankar told the media that the offender was a family friend and the incident left her scared for her entire childhood. However now as an adult she understands the severity of such heinous crime and is hence committed to the welfare of women and their security.
Pamela Anderson – It comes as a shock when bold stars like Pamela Anderson confess to being an object of some retired mind’s guilt. The Baywatch star spoke at a star-studded event during the Cannes Film Festival that her childhood was anything but full of sweet memories. She was molested by a 46 year old when she was six. At the age of 12 she was raped by a 25 year old and was gang raped by her boy-friend and his friends in her teens.
This is a heart breaking to see how our society is getting contaminated. This is not characteristical of any particular culture or country. In most of the cases the violators are the most trusted people within the social, rather family circle of the victim. With people trying to shovel such incidents under the rugs, the abusers walk freely. It is but a bitter truth and with every passing moment such incidents are growing in numbers. The decline in such cases can’t be predicted anytime soon either.
