The world's most pivotal moment for child protection

Break the Record
This campaign launch celebrates the first-ever global prevalence data on sexual violence against children.

The first Global Survivor Council
The Brave Movement lead the coordination of a Global Survivor Council (GSC) via an open application process.
The GSC brings together individuals from survivor-led networks across the globe, who can speak to all forms of violence against children. It played a crucial role in ensuring continuous survivor engagement in the design and delivery of the conference as well as the final political declaration.
Our ultimate advocacy push is for all governments to create and endorse national survivor councils.
Governments must prioritize these councils, ensuring that policies don’t just scratch the surface but truly meet survivors’ needs and shield future generations from the deep and lasting wounds of abuse.
