For too long, survivors of childhood sexual violence have been silenced while perpetrators escape justice. We CAN change that. There are clear solutions which would see children better protected, more justice for survivors achieved and better support for healing and trauma relief.
Survivors of child sexual violence must be included in finding these solutions, bringing their expertise and lived experience into shaping improved policies, programmes and approaches. Together, we can — and must — be brave so children and adolescents can be safe.
