WHY DONATE?
Child sexual abuse is a global problem that knows no physical, financial, socioeconomic, geographic, cultural or gender boundaries. All forms of child sexual abuse are a profound violation of the human rights of the child and a crime under law. The impacts of this crime are far-reaching for children, families and communities. Children who have been sexually abused can suffer a range of psychological and behavioural problems, ranging from mild to severe, both in the short and long term. Effects of the abuse can vary, however children who are believed when they first disclose and are given the right type of therapeutic support, are less likely to endure long term negative impacts. Approximately 1 in 5 Australian children will experience child sexual abuse. It’s a crime that affects all races, economic classes, cultural groups and genders. Children of all ages are abused, even toddlers and babies.
