Press Release – Watterson Marketing Communications
Auckland, New Zealand – 24th of May, 2021 – One in five children will experience some form of sexual abuse before their 18th birthday, and when assaults occur within the family, sibling sexual assault is five times more likely – and often far more violent – than abuse from a trusted adult. We need to change the way we listen to survivors’ stories, no matter how uncomfortable they are to hear, and teach people their secret is safe to tell.
This is author Naomi Hunter’s truth. A survivor of child sexual abuse and now an acclaimed children’s book author set out to write her autobiography, detailing her journey as a child born into chaos and abuse, to becoming an empowered author and child advocate.
