Answer 2

Those who have been victims of abuse are the ones who live in a very toxic environment. Many of these victims have been hurt emotionally psychologically and physically. They become withdrawn and frightened as a result of their experience. Some become violent and inflict that violence on others. To prevent this is to remove people from such an environment. Other ways can be through counseling as well as any activity that will help them build confidence and trust.
