Those brief aggressions‚ that resentful mindset‚ I came to a point in which I couldn’t take it anymore. I could not just dismiss it again. At some point‚ I realized I was sick and tired

In this process of dehumanization‚ children are not only at risk for sexual abuse‚ but also psychological and physical abuse. With that said‚ children are also forced to perform physical labour.
