Abstract : This study delves into the often-overlooked world of children who have endured sexual abuse, using a phenomenological approach to understand their unique, lived experiences. Through deep, compassionate interviews, researchers uncovered not just the pain but also the resilience of these young individuals. The study focused on five children, who had experienced violence in the home, selected with care to ensure ethical standards were met. The findings reveal a powerful story of trauma: children faced sexual abuse by those they should have trusted, constant fear, overwhelming silence, and the haunting intrusion of memories and nightmares. Despite the immense challenges, these children showed remarkable strength. They found solace in simple joys like school, and peer activities, used play and physical movement as distractions, connected with nature and engaged in self-soothing rituals, selectively disclosed to trust others, and began changing how they thought about themselves and their circumstances. This study sheds light on how, even in their darkest moments, these children demonstrated extraordinary resilience, reimagining their lives and their futures.
