من التعرض للتحرش إلى رسالة | From Abuse to Awareness | #دوبامين مع رباب قربي | الحلقة السادسة

For the first time, Rabab publicly shares her story of being sexually abused as a child, an experience that left a profound mark on her for years before transforming into the mission she has dedicated her life to: protecting children, supporting parents, and raising awareness about sex education as an essential part of parenting. In this episode of Dopamine, Yara Salama hosts Rabab Qurbi, a parenting and sexuality expert, for a candid conversation about the impact of childhood abuse and how parents can create a safe environment to protect their children before harm occurs. We discuss why children remain silent after being abused, why the abuser is often someone the child knows, and how parents can recognize early signs and address them appropriately without fear or denial. We also discuss the concept of sex education, emphasizing that it's not about "opening children's eyes," but rather about building awareness, teaching boundaries, and fostering a sense of security and trust within the family. We also touch upon how to answer children's questions at different ages, the importance of using correct names for body parts, the roles of parents in parenting, and how a single conversation can make a real difference in a child's life. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Rabab Korabi experienced sexual harassment in childhood—an experience that shaped her life and ultimately became the reason she dedicated her career to protecting children, supporting parents, and raising awareness about healthy, age-appropriate sex education. In this episode of Dopamine Podcast, Yara Salame sits down with parenting and sexuality educator Rabab Qarbi for an honest conversation about the lasting impact of childhood sexual abuse and how parents can create safe environments that protect their children before harm happens. They discuss why children often stay silent, why the abuser is frequently someone the child already knows, how parents can recognize early warning signs, and how to respond with trust rather than fear or denial. The conversation also explores why sex education is not about exposing children to inappropriate topics, but about teaching boundaries, safety, body awareness, and healthy communication. They also discuss how to answer children's difficult questions in an age-appropriate way, the importance of using proper names for body parts, the shared role of both parents in raising children, and how one honest conversation can make a lifelong difference. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ DOPAMINE Podcast Dopamine is the first international Arabic podcast filmed entirely remotely, hosting guests from across the Arab world to connect stories, experiences, and perspectives through honest conversations that transcend borders.
