I'm a survivor of both-parent abuse so I've seen the problem from a different vantage point.  Individual children had no way to challenge incest because they would lose their family's support.  I was just starting to come to terms with it when I heard of Freud's Theory of the Oedipus Complex--that childhood memories were a fantasy of what the child had wanted.  After a long time struggling with it I was able to recognize that the OC was the perfect cover-up for sexual abuse of children.  When it came to recovery I had ONE thing to hold on to--a school for children with cerebral palsy was built across from my elementary school and they invited us over at the end of the first year to show us the results of their rehabilitation.  I thought--if they could recover I can too!  That concept of rehabilitation was the first step.
