Shana Aaronson, the director of Magen, joins me in this episode. Magen is an organization based in Israel that advocates for and supports victims of sexual abuse. Shana is doing extraordinary, vital work—guiding victims through their incredibly challenging journeys and giving them the advocacy they deserve. During our conversation, Shana opens up about her own journey and explains how she first got involved in the fight against sexual abuse, starting with her early exposure to activism as a child. We cover critical topics, including: How to educate children about personal safety and physical boundaries. Red flags to watch for if you're concerned about a child. Empowering kids to trust their instincts and protect themselves. What to do—and what not to do—if someone confides in you about abuse and asks you to keep it private. The long-term impact of sexual abuse and how we can support survivors. We also delve into sensitive and complex issues, such as cases involving incest, the challenges of helping victims who don't want to leave their abuser, and practical ways that family and friends can provide support. Shana shares the impactful work her organization is doing to combat sexual abuse and highlights ways you can get involved in this important fight. This is a powerful and eye-opening conversation.
