In this vlog series, 5 teenagers share their personal experiences regarding sexual abuse. Lara, Jesper, Samantha, Gio, and Floor indicate that their coach, family member, or babysitter sometimes does some very strange things. We see the children pick up their cameras and give daily updates about their lives. They share their fears about telling someone about it: Isn’t it their own fault? The struggle of a child and their journey to ask for help collide to form a strong message in every episode: If someone crosses your boundaries, it is not your fault. Talk about it with someone you trust. We can see how the abuse starts and more importantly: How it stops. The most important message for the young viewers: Don’t be afraid to ask for help. It is not your fault. The episodes were released daily from Monday till Friday in a week dedicated to sexual abuse. This series is based on true stories. In collaboration with the Sexual Assault Centre, we realised a truthful and accurate portrayal of reality, reflected by its success on social media. Young people chatted in the comments. On Instagram followers were encouraged to interact with the posts and stories and got the chance to ask their own questions. On TikTok, we introduced a universal hand gesture for emergencies.
