Perspectives on ending sexual violence against children from leaders in the field

Sexual violence against children is a global pandemic. One in five girls and one in 13 boys experience sexual violence. It happens everywhere, and across all socio-economic groups, with devastating and lifelong consequences for individuals, their families, and society.

But it does not have to be this way. Sexual violence against children is preventable.

Our partner Oak Foundation's Prevent Child Sexual Abuse (PCSA) program interviewed leaders in the violence against children space to gather their perspectives on how we can put an end to this global scourge and create a safer world for children.

Brisa de Angulo — "I want to use my story to ensure that no other child has to suffer the atrocities that I suffered. I joined this movement because as survivors we are infinitely stronger when we unite. I hope to elevate the perspectives and experiences of survivors from around the world and to celebrate the tremendous diversity of the global community. Together we form a powerful community for healing and change, and we give one another the courage and vision to continue creating pathways of hope around the world. I dream of a world where all children grow up in loving, nurturing families, and communities."
