"You Don't Know Me is a well-researched and well-presented piece of artwork, looking into the issues associated with child sexual abuse. While highlighting the plight of the abused children, You Don't Know Me also conveys the importance of listening, believing, communicating and being there for these children. It can also be used as an entry into discussing the acknowledged but usually denied facts of child sexual abuse that exist in our society"
Mohamed Naeem, UNICEF
