当成年人袒露童年时被性侵
(本文首发于For A Safer Space） 每当新闻中爆出儿童性虐案时，大家的普遍反映是“想象不到什么样的人居然会做出这种事”；当然，这是比较文明的表述方法。 从事性暴力相关的心理咨询与受害者服务近七年，我的第一反应是：“什么样的人都有可能实施儿童性虐。”这意味着，性虐实施者可以是任何性别，任何年龄，任何种族，任何职业，任何社会地位等等。我的第二反应是，“儿童性虐比大家想象得要普遍得多。”这意味着，受害者可以是任何性别，任何年龄（未成年时），任何种族，任何家庭条件，等等。 儿童性侵的报告率非常低。成人向任何人提起童年时被性侵的可能性也非常低。即便是寻求心理咨询服务的客户里，大多数人不会从一开始就提起自己童年被性侵的经历。曾有一位客户，在接受与性侵不相关的心理咨询约一年半后，突然有一天向我提起，她曾在12、3岁的时候在叔叔家的时候遭到装修工人的性侵。 选择不提起的原因有很多，例如，想要追究施虐者的法律责任非常困难，担心会对身边人甚至施虐者产生负面影响（尤其当施虐者是家人或是家人的朋友），害怕因为社会污名（social stigma）而无人相信，记忆不够清晰或是完全没有记忆，对发生的事情是否是性虐感到困惑，或是对自己的判断的怀疑，等等。 本文的主要目的是向大众分享与传播与儿童性侵的成年受害人（adult survivors of child sexual abuse）相关的去污名化信息，以及如何成为有力有效的盟友。我认为，我们应当给予受害人选择是否袒露、向谁袒露、如何袒露、袒露多少的选择；“站出来”不应当是仅仅落在受害人的肩上，而是我们应当共同承担的责任。我希望，我们可以创造一个受害人不怕站出来、施虐者被追究相应责任的美好社会。 我们分几个部分： （一）儿童性虐的定义； （二）儿童性虐的多方面影响； （三）如何做有力的盟友 本文所分享的内容是根据我的专业知识与从业经验整理而成；我鼓励读者多方阅读科学研究证明、权威机构调查、各地区不同法律法规等等。 警报：本文含有直白的性侵语言，并且所讨论的内容可能触发不适以及心理创伤.请读者自行决定是否进行阅读、阅读的数量与速度。请主动进行自我关爱。本文不能代替专业心理咨询治疗，有需要的话请及时向专业人员求助。 如何定义儿童性虐？ 儿童性虐的英文名称是Child Sexual Abuse (CSA)。讨论儿童性虐的第一个难题是：如何下定义？这个问题的答案说容易也容易，说复杂也复杂。 我们先来看一组不同机构组织下的定义： 根据世界卫生组织1999年Consultation on Child Abuse Prevention (62), “Child sexual abuse is the involvement of a child in sexual activity that he or she does not fully comprehend, is unable …
