Without taboos on processing childhood sexual abuse
Date: 25 November 2025, 17:20-18:50
Location: Corvinus University of Budapest, building C, auditorium VII.
What will be discussed?
-
The characteristics and consequences of childhood sexual abuse.
-
Trauma processing and how to talk about the topic safely and supportively with those who are affected.
-
The situation in Hungary: the challenges survivors face and what society can do to break down taboos.
Why is it worth attending?
This lecture is not just an informal conversation: Bence speaks with a credible voice about what many want to hear but few dare to say openly. The goal of the Elmondhatom Foundation (I Can Say It Foundation) is to initiate a dialogue, break down taboos, and provide help to those for whom the path to healing is important.
Who is it recommended for?
-
Affected individuals who are seeking support and understanding.
-
Family members/loved ones who want to better understand how to communicate with people living with trauma.
-
Anyone who believes that breaking down taboos makes the community stronger.
Note:
The lecture addresses sensitive topics, so we ask that all participants approach the conversation with respect and empathy. There will be an opportunity for questions, and we hope this event will provide strength, hope, and community support to all those present.
It is important that the staff of the Elmondhatom Foundation – including Bence Ivák – are not therapists, and therefore they do not undertake individual story processing or counseling. If you are affected and would like to seek help, the foundation has compiled your options on their website.
