ABOUT US

FIGHTING FOR CHILDREN’S RIGHTS

Vision

A world where every child is free from sexual abuse and exploitation and every survivor has access to justice and healing.

Mission

CHILD USA is an evidence-based think tank dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse and exploitation, protecting children’s rights, and advancing justice for survivors.

We turn evidence into action through research, law, education, advocacy, and collaboration. Working alongside survivors, experts, policymakers, and partners, we strengthen prevention, close gaps in legal protection, and advance accountability for those who perpetrate, enable, or profit from abuse and exploitation.

Our work reaches survivors at every age and addresses harm occurring in person, online, and through emerging technologies—including child sexual abuse material, sextortion, and AI systems facilitating or directly perpetrating child sexual abuse and exploitation.

Prevention. Protection. Pathways to Justice. Evidence into Action.
