Some key phrases that stood out to me were: Surrounded by a community who would either blame me for the abuse or label me a liar. Victims are often alienated and ostracised by their own families and by the whole community, if they go public with allegations of abuse. This refusal to condemn perpetrators. Culture where notions of shame result in the blaming of victims rather than perpetrators. Community leaders must take responsibility for the fact that the taboos that prevent others from identifying perpetrators and supporting victims enable further abuse. And those taboos must be challenged. theguardian/society/2014/aug/29/-sp-untold-story-culture-of-shame-ruzwana-bashir
