According to the World Health Organization, millions of children suffer from sexual violence each year.

Today, on the World Day for the Prevention of and Healing from Child Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Violence, we stand with others to bring attention to the urgent need for action to protect children and end the cycle of abuse.

At Talking for Change, our program supports individuals struggling with sexual thoughts toward children, aiming to prevent abuse before it starts.

The aim of our program is to prevent child sexual abuse from occurring in the first place, as too often professional help is only offered after abuse has occurred.

Our mission at Talking for Change is to protect children from harm, and to do this, we need to foster an environment that encourages individuals at risk to talk about it.

If we don't do this, the negative stigma surrounding this topic can result in:

1️⃣ Individuals at-risk of engaging in abuse may not seek treatment due to fear that a treatment provider will report them to the police or a child protection agency

2️⃣ Stressors caused by negative stigma may contribute to at-risk individuals coping in ways that might increase the likelihood of offending (e.g., using alcohol or drugs)

3️⃣ Stigma may increase a person’s risk to offend by causing more problems in their lives that are themselves risk factors for sexual offending.

There is no shame in asking for help. To learn more, visit talkingforchange.ca.
