We need to act now to combat the global pandemic of child sexual abuse.

Child sexual abuse constitutes a worldwide crisis, affecting millions of children. A shocking 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are subjected to sexual harm before reaching adulthood.

Act now

The spread of images and videos of child sexual abuse perpetuates the cycle of exploitation. Unfortunately, most cases go unreported to law enforcement, with estimates suggesting there may be up to 30 times more unreported cases than those included in police crime statistics. Therefore, we must take steps to prevent harm earlier.

Preventing harm to children is possible.

We envision a world where childhood sexual trauma is prevented before it occurs, by preventing people from becoming perpetrators and intervening in high-risk environments. Where harm has sadly not been prevented, we advocate for lower barriers to specialist support and treatment for victims and survivors.

We envision a world where child sexual abuse is prevented before it ever occurs and all victims and survivors have access to low-barrier, accessible and anonymous specialised services.

Our mission is to see comprehensive programs to prevent childhood sexual trauma benefit communities around the world, increasing the chances of future generations. We aim to:

01 Causer-Related Prevention

In an ideal world, childhood sexual abuse would not occur, as no one would engage in such acts or view images or videos of abuse. While complete prevention may be challenging, there is hope. By offering accessible, affordable, and high-quality therapy to individuals at risk, we can make meaningful strides in reducing harm and creating a safer environment for children.

02 High-Risk Settings

Institutions and online platforms are risky environments for childhood sexual abuse. Settings such as religious organisations, out-of-home care, childcare, social media, and gaming sites are particularly vulnerable. ACT offers collaboration with these high-risk settings to develop creative and ethical strategies to prevent the use of abusive materials and the exploitation of children. The goal is for more individuals to be redirected to appropriate services, harmful behaviour to decrease, and victims spared from harm.

03 Mitigating the Consequences

There is a need to expand therapeutic measures for victims of sexual traumatisation. Sexual victimisation in childhood is associated with increased susceptibility to stress and a greater likelihood of developing mental or psychosomatic illnesses, as well as an increase in the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. We work to reduce the barriers for victims and survivors to access specialised services. When childhood sexual trauma has occurred, all victims and survivors should have access to low-barrier, low-cost, accessible and anonymous specialised services.
