We’re raising funds to support our work bringing our evidence-based research and recommendations to the capitals and the courtrooms where they’ll make the biggest difference.
The Raising Hope campaign is what we need to achieve our aim of educating parents, caregivers, educators, and communities about child sexual abuse prevention, early detection, and appropriate responses. We must empower survivors to create change and ensure justice for those affected by chld sexual abuse. With your support, we will create safe environments where children are protected, supported, and free to thrive.
