Space for Jane Helen

Firstly I would like to give thanks to the people who attended at Piren wednesday. Since we didn’t have any visible event outdoors, we did gather around the big poster inside the shopping center and place our hearts with our names in on the poster. Something that is posible throughout this month. Feel free to write your name on the poster itself with colourful pens. The more that stands up and suports these children the better.

What I wanted to achieve with this event was to cause awarness to the hughe amount of children who each year get sexualy abused only here in this country, 50000 in Norway alone. We have to dare to see them, dare to care about them and dare to stop the abuse when we get to know about it. Dare to believe them when they are telling you about it. I myself did tell to an ex amount of people, but they didn’t dare to believe in me, I was a liar to them. I don’t believe children can lie about these things. The most important thing must be to catch what they are trying to talk about, because these children don’t know the describing words of an abusing act like grown ups do.

Children have a right to feel safe within its’ own home. Playing and having fun. Not having to be afraid of having a bath, afraid to eat, afraid to sit on mummy or daddys lap, afraid to go to sleep, afraid to get dressed or undressed, afraid to cumb their hair or afraid of noises, yes afraid of anything at all.

Dare to talk about good and bad touches with your child. Teach them to let grown ups know if something feels wrong, or if they get told to keep bad secrets, because neither children or grown ups are allowed to have them. This to teach the children about their right to feel safe.

Dare to talk about this and dare to listen when someone is talking about it. Children has a right to feel safe at home and out amongst people.

I have to admit that what I was exposed for as a child isn’t anything people really want to talk about or even show their public suport for. But not any child deserves to experience what I have. I’m thinking about them with soreness and compassion, because they are not alone, but the grown ups don’t seem to want to care enough about this.

50000 children is a whole lot of children. They are all Norwegians and they have just as much right to be protected and feel safe at home as orphanchildren in development countries. They too experience abuse because it happens everywhere in the world, but we must remember to fight for children in Norway too can be safe. All children is equaly worth. Dare to see them and dare to care about them as a compassionate human being.

Thanks to Tidens Krav for posting it. Thanks to SMISO (Senter against incest and sexual abuse) for sponsoring the posters. And all the people who read this and can make a difference in a childs life ❤

Wednesday event, my speech and the candle burning came to a hault when only a few turned up to show their suport. But we did come together in front of the poster and hung the hearts with our names on it. I did manage to say a few words to the people who came, but not the written speech. I have sendt it to the news paper and hope it will be printed, just a littlebit rewritten.

I hope I have managed to cause awarness and made people think about this hughe problem amongst us. I hope to do more of these events in the future. These children will not be forgotten. Lets prevent it from happen, if we all dare to do our part by talking and see these children ❤

Thank you for attending wednesday and for writing your names on the poster ❤ It is all for the abused children in Norway ❤

(I will post the speech when it has been published in the newspaper).

I desided I had to do something. After I was quite upset by what had happend in that Frp party, and the politician who commented to my radio show knew about exact same things within his own party :-O And did just the same as my suroundings did…

Now I have managed to put together and get nessesarry permisions to arrange this and made it public 😀 Through a FB group and the event people can tell they will join in on 😀 I am so excited about this project and hope it will cause more awareness with people what is going on behind closed doors and can help stop it from happening.

I believe in telling your child at as young age as posible that you have a right to own your own body and mind. And noone should either tell you to do bad things to others or to yourself and not tell anyone about it. Bad secrets are not allowed to keep. Things that frightens them and makes them feel unsafe should be talked about and stopped. I told my son that if mommy is mean to you go tell daddy about it, and if daddy is mean to you go tell mommy about it. Children have a right to feel safe ❤

The arramgement is called "50000 children gets sexualy abused each year. That is 50000 too many". On Wednesday 13.04.2011 at 18.00 we will start at the harbour, walk around town and end up at the harbour, where I want to make a short speech. Then we all lit a candle and in the shopping senter nearby there will be hung a hughe poster with a heart saying these words and be able to write their name in smaller hearts and stick to the poster. Just to create awareness towards abuse of children in Norway alone there is 50000!!! :-O It happens everywhere and we all need to take responsibility for it! I hope you will join in on this if posible ❤

For a better future for all children ❤
