Eva May, a survivor of historic child sexual abuse, shares her compelling journey participating in the UK’s landmark Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse – a seven-year investigation that cost £186 million and gathered testimony from over 7,000 survivors. Despite facing administrative hurdles and multiple changes in leadership, she persevered to contribute her voice alongside thousands of others, hoping to improve outcomes for future survivors and better protect children. The inquiry has finally concluded with a massive 450-page report containing 107 recommendations, including legally mandating those in positions of trust to report abuse allegations to police. Eva’s story reveals both the personal courage required to participate in such proceedings and the systemic challenges that still need addressing, from inadequate specialist treatment for complex trauma disorders like dissociative identity disorder to the ongoing crisis of online grooming affecting an estimated half million children annually in England and Wales.
