Abstract

This essay explores the concept of voice by turning to disclosure discourse about sexual abuse. We argue that children who have been sexually abused are strategic and logical in the way they regulate access to this private information. We note that the children locate their voice of logic in their selection of confidants. By listening to and privileging their voices, we, as researchers, can position ourselves as conduits through which the voices of the children can be heard.
