Jamil said that her personal experience of being sexually abused as a child motivated her to raise awareness about child sexual abuse and to push for improved laws protecting children. She expressed her desire to be more responsible and look out for the kids in her immediate vicinity.
It’s not a sacrifice. Promise. I am privileged & honoured by his truest and the trust the other children I care for put in me. After being abandoned & abused by adults, it is a HUGE responsibility to be there for them. I take that responsibility very seriously. https://t.co/loVInHngyI
