VICTIMS of abuses are never responsible for what happens to them as such unspeakable acts are the fault of the perpetrator, says Australian author and social worker Doctor Marian Zaunbrecher.
Dr Zaunbrecher, who is also a reverend, said victims of any form of abuse had the right to be angry at their perpetrators.
She said for abuse to stop, women, children and men needed to be educated and told that they had a right to their own body.
“Also, they have the right to say no and not feel responsible for the abuse that they face because it is the problem of the perpetrator,” she said.
