There are many reasons why victims of sexual abuse fail to report their experience to the authorities. One reason is that they may feel shame or embarrassment. They may also believe that they will not be believed, or that the abuser will retaliate if they speak out. Additionally, victims may have a difficult time reliving the experience in order to make a report. They may also fear that their family or friends will judge them. All of these factors can make it very difficult for victims to come forward and seek help. As a result, it is important to create an environment in which victims feel safe and supported so that they can get the help they need.
