Abstract

With the subsistence of sexual abuse in the Philippines in the present day, this research was carried out to help sexually abused children to recuperate their self-worth as one of the important factors that has been disarrayed in a child’s life. Descriptive-qualitative was used in this research along with interview as a method. The researchers formed a semi structured interview guide questions in order to collect data and/or information to create themes that will help formulate a program in helping the SAC. The data came from the three (3) psychologists that have conducted researches and have personally encountered the SAC in Bahay Tuluyan ng mga Bata (Home for Girls) in Dasmariñas, Cavite. The said institution accommodates children ages 5 to 17 who have been sexually and physically neglected and abused. Based on the three (3) respondents’ similar interview statements, the themes created were zeroed in the most important factor that affects sexually abused children — their sense of self-worth. Moreover, the respondents’ statements support the related literatures that discuss how sexual abuse affects children on how they value themselves. Aside from this, being sexually abused has negative effects on what they feel and think of themselves such as dealing with opposite sex, feeling of depression, anxiety, and withdrawal which lead to having a low sense of self-worth. However, this can be recuperated through a strong support from their family and people who care for them. To address the issues concerning sexually abused children, the researchers recommend that the Bahay Tuluyan ng mga Bata (Home for Girls) should provide group activities to rebuild their self-worth and trust; this can be done through counseling and psychotherapy. Also, future researchers may improve this study and do the things the previous researchers were not able to achieve. Recommendations also take account of utilizing the proposed program in helping the sexually abused children to recuperate their self-worth.
