Support for victim-survivors of child sexual abuse

If you are a victim-survivor of child sexual abuse or have faced sexual abuse at any point in your life, help and support are available. At the very centre of our work, we strive to create a world where children can be safe and free from sexual abuse and exploitation. 

Many people experience the effects of child sexual abuse  and may never speak about it to anyone, either at the time or later in life. The impact of abuse may strike at any time, and it is important that help is available when people need it. What happened to you was not your fault, and you deserve support, understanding, and care.  

People respond to abuse in many different ways, and there is no right or wrong way to feel – you might be coping day to day, struggling with difficult memories, or trying to make sense of what has happened. Whatever your experience, your reactions are valid and there is help available.  

Please contact one of the trusted services listed below for support.  

We are also here to offer anonymous support and guidance.
