What is the main mission of Yvonne Sandomir in preventing childhood sexual abuse?
The mission is to raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse prevention and awareness because 95% of abuse can be prevented if people are aware of it. 95% can be prevented. Awareness is the biggest thing because the biggest misconception about this topic is that it just involves physical touch. The reason that we do that, and I want to put this out there, It's not for the kids. It's for the adults because the adults are uncomfortable. They don't want to be uncomfortable confronting this person who did something to their child. So we've got to change that.
Yvonne Sandemir is an author, survivor, and child sexual abuse prevention advocate dedicated to breaking intergenerational cycles of trauma through education, awareness, and her impactful work.
And in reality, that person could be, you know, desensitizing the kids. And what he's doing is he's saying, look, I can be naked in front of the parents and they think it's funny.
Wow. Yeah.
And so guess what?
What misconceptions exist about childhood sexual abuse?
I can be naked in front of you, too. And what are you going to think? It's funny. It's all about.
It spans the globe like a super high school Internet Elvis. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast. For those who live to leave a legacy.
That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago was the lead. You said Paul is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream.
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Legacy Makers. Sat with Yvonne today and she's got a big mission, big target, big goal, conquering a really big problem in the world, which is child sex abuse. She's building a foundation to do exactly that. She's a podcaster. She has books around it. And this is what Legacy Makers is all about. People making a difference in the world. And Yvonne's definitely one of those people. So excited. Welcome to the show.
Thank you.
So let's start from the ground up. You know, what's the mission and why?
Yeah, the mission is to raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse prevention and awareness because 95% of abuse can be prevented if people are aware of it. 95% can be prevented. That's the mission is to prevent abuse from occurring to our children.
Yeah. And, you know, it's just like, obviously, you know, most of my businesses are more product or advertising based. But what I teach is the first thing with getting your product out there is awareness. And I feel it's kind of the same thing here that it's like awareness and education.
Oh, a thousand percent. A thousand percent. Awareness is the biggest thing because the biggest misconception about this topic is that it is just involves physical touch.
Yeah.
And that's where the awareness comes in is that, no, it's not just physical touch. In voyeurism and exhibitionism and people exposing themselves and exposing kids to magazines or movies, it's a bunch of things that can constitute as child sexual abuse. And people don't realize that.
And what's your, you know, obviously you talk more about it in your episode, I think, but what led you to this and why you believe so strongly and why are you pursuing this?
Yeah, well, because I am an adult survivor myself of a lot of trauma, a lot of childhood trauma. I've been abused probably by more than 12 people throughout my childhood. And I realized that my own family that they didn't know that child sexual abuse involved touch. When I would tell them things that happened to me that didn't involve touch, it was, oh, but that's not a big deal. He didn't touch you. So as long as he didn't touch you, it's okay. And that can be further from the truth.
So let's talk about that on the education side. What are some of the big pieces like that? Not using your own examples, but just generalize that maybe are happening like the most common cases that happen that parents or family dismiss because they don't realize.
Yeah. The biggest one is, you know, family friends who are those crazy family friends that, you know, I gave this example earlier that, you know, they go to the pool and they just they think it's funny to, you know, take their pants off and everybody's laughing.
