Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a deeply sensitive subject, one that no caregiver wants to imagine affecting their family. However, it’s a reality that demands urgent attention and proactive involvement from caregivers to protect children. While institutions contribute to organized prevention efforts, caregivers are the first line of defense. Through intentional communication, teaching body autonomy, and fostering emotional resilience, they are uniquely positioned to empower children and equip them with the tools needed to keep themselves safe.

In this blog post, we’ll examine how caregivers can actively help prevent CSA. By focusing on age-appropriate education and building open, trusting relationships with their children, they can create a safer environment where children can thrive and grow.
