If we don’t understand child sexual abuse, we can’t stop it. You likely know a child who has been or is currently being abused.

Safe environments can help reduce the risk for abuse.

By having open conversations that break down barriers and reduce stigma. By talking openly about our bodies, sex, and boundaries, we can encourage children to share.

Signs of abuse aren’t always obvious, but they are often there. Emotional or behavioral changes are often the most common signs.

Our responsibility is to react appropriately to suspicion, disclosure, or discovery of abuse.
