This is the new campaign for awarness of Sexual assault on Children in my province. (Quebec, Canada). They can only play it after 8:00pm. I don't have to tell you it was a major trigger for me when i saw it. I think it's important to wake people up, but this is very overwhelming. I suppose it might make people think. Please be aware that this is VERY TRIGGERING if you watch. I Needed to share it because it plays on television here. I would like your thoughts on this. Very confused about this

Powerful and triggering. I couldn't hear what the narrator was saying (in French). Does anyone who knows French provide the tranlation? If you are triggered by graphic depiction of sexual abuse, please don't look to translate. (or do the translation without looking at the video.)

The victim appears to be male so getting the message across that it happens to boys also is important.

Anthony,

Yes, it is triggering but at least your country isn't afraid of showing it. You'd NEVER see it in America. Oh, the media likes to report on abuse but you'd never see anything so graphic in America. We don't have the guts.

I applaud your country. At least they're not afraid to hide the truth of what's taking place across this planet.

Here is the translation from the French:

At this very moment Sexual assaults are being committed, and it's criminal. Together, victims, family, witnesses, authorities, Let's denounce sexual assaults.

Holy shit. I'm freakin' trembling. I hope it will have a positive impact and make a difference.

Peace,

John

Yes, it is very triggering. In reality, sexual assault / sexual abuse / sexual battery is not sexy - it is ugly and repulsive. This public service announcement definitely portrays SA for what it is - UGLY and repulsive behavior leaving the victim frantically and futily struggling to retain his / her modesty and serenity! I hope I never have to see it again. I hope it never happens to another person...
Peace,
Shadow+Walker

bravo for this quebecers!

exactly to the point.

if only such a psa could be shown in the usa.

but not in my lifetime i fear.

Anthony,

Could you possibly translate this one?

i think of it this way anthony, the video is no where near as overwhelming as reality was for us.

people who watch it get away.
they suffer no trauma or guilt.
they get right back to the show they were watching....and the chores they were doing...and the plans they were making.

here you go Robbie:

If you're 11 years old and you live in Paris, on Sundays you go to McDonalds.
If you're 11 years old and you live in Cuba, you give a blow job to an italian tourist.
If you're 11years old and you live in Berlin, you go see Harry Potter in the Theater.
If you're 11 years old and you live in Jakarta, you sow Nike sneakers for Americans.
If you're 11 and live in New York, you go watch the Baseball game on Sundays.
If you're 11 years old and you live in Thailand, you have to get sodomized by an australian.
If you're 11 years old and you live in Rome, you go to McDonalds on Sundays.
If you're 11 years old and you live in Dominican Republic, you act in an amateur porno movie.

Then two planes crash into two towers and people are astounded.
