Surviving Sexual Assault. Tales - Trials - Transformation


DON'T MISS MONDAY
NIGHT ON HIDE & SEEK

Melbourne’s GLBTI radio station, JOY 94.9, will feature a special edition of it’s “Adults Only” program HIDE & SEEK, this Monday 19 October. From 11pm, Surviving Sexual Assault; tales, trials and transformation, will explore legal and personal accounts of Australia’s darkest secret.


Hosted by Dean Beck and James Findlay, the duo will be joined by an expert line-up of law makers, community leaders, psychologists and one very special man who will share his story of survival.

“Sadly 38% of girls and 9% of boys will be sexually assaulted before they turn 18 and at least one home in every ten involves incest. These figures are simply horrific and only exacerbated by more than 500 Australian Clergy already charged with paedophilia!” explained Hide & Seek’s host Dean Beck.

“Both James and myself are honoured and very pleased to be presenting this special edition of Hide & Seek on Sexual Assault, as part of JOY 94.9's commitment to Community Safety Month,” said Dean.

HIDE & SEEK – Sex and The Church


Fiona Pattern from ASP Talks About The Church

They don't support gender equity. They stigmatize the GLBTIQ community. They have a pretty bad record on child sexual abuse. They insist their spokespersons be male, single and celibate and they believe all things regarding the business of sex, causes violence in today’s society.


They are collectively known as…..The Church. Fiona Pattern from The Australian Sex Party, joins Hide and Seek in the Studio to highlight the hypocrisy of religious institutions.


In Australia alone, more than 500 Clergy have been convicted sexually abusing children and destroying the lives of thousands of children. Fiona believes a Royal Commission is urgently needed to thoroughly investigate the roll The Church has played, often knowingly.


You can find out lots more regarding this subject at deception.org.au


In Australia, one in three girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused prior to becoming an adult.


A survey in 1994 revealed that, on average, a pedophile molests 148 children. The survey interviewed 453 pedophiles and discovered they had collectively abused more than 67,000 children.


One organisation picking up the pieces of these shattered lives is Bravehearts and I highly recommend you visit their web site to see the wonderful work that they do.
