“…Victims of (IF)CSA may suffer from a range of adverse effects which may manifest in child-and/or adulthood. These broadly include: feelings of confusion, humiliation, fear of rejection, and being used (Mey and Neff, 1982); disturbed sexual functioning, marital breakdown (Beitchman et al, 1991); chronic headaches (Roesler and Wind, 1994); disbelief, confusion, guilt, anger (Phelan, 1995); problems in building and sustaining relationships (Newman Lubell and Peterson, 1998); feelings of "dirtiness" and worthlessness (DiGeorgio-Miller, 1998); compulsive spending, nightmares (Rudd and Herzberger, 1999); low self-esteem, insomnia, flashbacks, a perception of the inability to please others, and work in low paying jobs (Salter, 2013). Victims of IFCSA may also experience a shattered sense of meaning and belief in a "just world"where people get what they deserve and deserve what they get (Hudson, 2013).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to report on the findings from a study commissioned by the Office of the Children's Commissioner (OCC) in England, concerning intrafamilial child sexual abuse (IFCSA)/incest. Specifically, it aims to explore what is known about the prevalence, nature, and impact of IFCSA and where the gaps in knowledge lie.Design/methodology/approach -A rapid evidence assessment (REA) was used, the function of which is to: search the literature as comprehensively as possible within given time constraints; collate descriptive outlines of the available evidence on a topic and critically appraise it; sift out studies of poor quality; and provide an overview of the evidence. Over 57,000 documents were scanned, and 296 ultimately systematically analysed.Findings -It was found that: there is wide variation in prevalence rates between studies; girls are more likely to be victims than boys; the onset of abuse is typically school age; abuse in minority groups is underreported; sibling abuse may be more common than that by fathers; female perpetrated abuse may be under-reported; families where abuse occurs are often dysfunctional; and IFCSA has significant adverse effects on victims.Research limitations/implications -A REA is not a full systematic review, differing in the scope and depth of the searches and depending almost exclusively on electronic databases, not accompanied by searching journals by hand.Practical implications -This work found numerous gaps in current knowledge about IFCSA, which the authors recommend be addressed by further research, including: the scale and nature of IFCSA in disabled victims, research on BME children's experiences; the prevalence of abuse by stepfathers as compared to biological fathers; the experiences of male victims; the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered child victims; the short-term impact of IFCSA based on child victims' experiences; and more widely, further research on the prevalence of abuse in clinical populations and the relationship between that and prevalence in wider society. In addition to such questions, the OCC inquiry will also investigate issues surrounding child protection and criminal justice responses to (IF)CSA and how these might be improved. The evidence base for this section of the inquiry is reported in Gekoski et al. (2016).Originality/value -The findings of this research provide the evidence base for a new twoyear inquiry into the subject of IFCSA by the OCC.

“…20 It is argued, in regard to revenge desires aroused by abusive living, that they establish the spread of violence and provoke outrage, according to a survey that describes the wrath of a 50-year-old woman who survived her father's prolonged incest since the age of five of age. 21 The feeling of revolt seized is highlighted as another aspect that drew attention. It was interpreted, in the face of subjectivity, the unconscious desire of the participants to return to the point before the abusive experience, that is, to return to a life free of oppression.…”

Objective: to identify the limits of tolerance of women to the sexual abuse suffered in childhood. Method: this is a qualitative, descriptive study developed at a Center for Attention to Women in Situation of Violence. The data were obtained through an open interview applied to nine women and the contributions of Comprehensive Sociology and Daily Life were discussed in their notions about limit sense, tragic and theatricality by Content Analysis. Results: "From repetitiveness to tolerance," which revealed sexual abuse, "Using Emotion to Express Tragic Lives of Sexual Abuse," and "The Underground Power of Survivors of Sexual Abuse." Conclusion: it is concluded that the work synthesizes silence as the main form of resistance to the repetitive episodes of sexual abuse, an aspect that sharpened the sense of the limit of the participants in order to emerge the subterranean power that allowed them to face the tragic experience and reveal the secrets and resentments to follow up on their lives.

RESUMOObjetivo: identificar os limites de tolerância de mulheres diante do abuso sexual sofrido na infância. Método: trata-se de estudo qualitativo, descritivo, desenvolvida num Centro de Atenção à Mulher em Situação de Violência. Obtiveram-se os dados por meio de entrevista aberta aplicada a nove mulheres e se discutiram as contribuições da Sociologia Compreensiva e do Cotidiano em suas noções sobre senso do limite, trágico e teatralidade pela Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: elencaram-se as categorias -"Da repetitividade ao limite de tolerância", que fez revelar o abuso sexual, "Valendo-se da emoção para expressar vivências trágicas de abuso sexual" e "A potência subterrânea de sobreviventes do abuso sexual". Conclusão: conclui-se que o trabalho sintetiza o silêncio como a principal forma de resistência aos repetitivos episódios de abuso sexual, aspecto que aguçou o senso do limite das participantes para fazer emergir a potência subterrânea que as possibilitou afrontar a vivência trágica e revelar os segredos e ressentimentos para dar seguimento às suas vidas.

“…While the role of journalists is critical in addressing issues affecting society especially for the marginalized group including children, violations and damage caused by the coverage highlighted the need to regulate the practice of journalism (Frost, 2015;Fengler et al, 2015). This is reflected in the famous case of Elisabeth Fritzl, a victim of intrafamilial sexual abuse in which her father held her captive (Middleton, 2016;Salter, 2013). According to Connolly (2009), the British tabloids led the pack, and it was the Sun that published the first grainy picture of Elisabeth -her face pixelated -following her move to a new home.…”

Influence of Media Reporting Guidelines on Children Reporting in Kenya: What Should Journalists Do?

Although media reporting guidelines protect children, very little is known about how these guidelines influence the practice of journalism. This study examined the influence of media reporting guidelines on children’s reporting in Kenya and tried to generate debate on what journalists do in such situations. All the 2,105 journalists in Nairobi County accredited by the Media Council of Kenya (MCK) constituted the target population. Based on practice theory, the study employed a descriptive research design. The researcher employed stratified random sampling and calculated the desired sample size using Taro Yamane’s formula. The study analysed 238 responses from an online questionnaire and found that most journalists had not fully interacted with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF’s) guidelines for journalists reporting on children (40%). Also, it shows that many media organisations don’t have internal guidelines and 60% of the respondents had encountered cases of reporters and editors being sanctioned for violating existing media reporting guidelines in Kenya. In conclusion, the study argues that while these guidelines are good for children, they tend to complicate the work of media professionals because of the challenge of clearly defining stories that constitute public interest or those critical to the coverage of children. There is a need to continually organise refresher training to enhance knowledge and skills for journalists to determine children’s stories to be published and that are unlikely to attract public outcry.
