I think it's vitally important to be having conversations with children very early on about bodily autonomy in particular. This is something that I've discussed with many survivors. As gymnasts, we never understood that we had bodily autonomy. This played into not just sexual abuse but the physical violence that was done to us as well.
We did not realize that we could say “no”. We didn't know that an adult manipulating us to the point of our screaming in pain was not appropriate, because we trusted that our coaches knew what was best for us. That was part of the grooming process. I think part of what then contributes to sexual abuse as well is that once you have been groomed to the point where a coach can do anything to your body at any time, of course it leads to their being able to sexually abuse children too.
I think those conversations, that education and that breaking down of the natural power imbalance that exists there are vitally important.
