A Queen's Birthday Honour recipient hopes his award will bring the challenges faced by male sexual abuse survivors into the spotlight. Ken Clearwater says many New Zealand men and boys will be carrying the trauma of sex abuse and need to be listened to instead of being locked up.
He has been working for decades to ensure all male survivors of sexual trauma receive appropriate and timely support. Men were predominantly viewed as perpetrators of violence, which means male survivors were often not on anyone's radar, he said. It doesn't just disappear because you've talked about it. What you've got to learn is how to live with what happened to you and move through that and that's the work we like to do," he said.
These young boys are misbehaving at school or out on the street, why are they misbehaving? Mr Clearwater was targeted, groomed and sexually abused as an adolescent and then he was assaulted by soldiers at the Burnham Military Camp in the s.
I was able to look at that and get help and then start looking at how I could help other men in this country," he said. Providing support to other survivors was something he had to do for his own well-being, he said. But speaking up hasn't been easy - especially not at the start. He was excited to receive the recognition, but hoped it would bring more attention to the challenges faced by male survivors and the support they needed.
Male Survivors Aotearoa involves a community of men who have experienced sexual trauma supporting each other. Mr Clearwater said some male survivors have been trained to support others, but there was a shortage of men doing this work. He was pleased the government had accepted and acknowledged there was a problem.
