Lockdowns had 'devastating' effect on sexual abuse survivors

According to One in Four CEO Maeve Lewis, child sexual abuse is a "shameful secret" that needs to be confronted.

Many survivors of sexual abuse endured mental health problems last year, with One in Four saying that lockdowns had a devastating effect.

In its annual report, launched today, the organisation said the challenges faced by many of those contacting it for support included, in some cases, suicidal ideation.
