MANNY Waks is preparing to take his fight for a Jewish community free of child sexual abuse global.
The Caulfield man has stepped down as CEO of the Australian advocacy group he founded two years ago, Tzedek, and revealed he is working on a “major global initiative to address the issue of child sexual abuse within the global Jewish community’’.
He will also relocate his family overseas this summer.
“While we have made significant progress, we still have a long way to go. Therefore I will proudly remain a victim advocate and dedicate myself to this cause for as long as I possibly can,’’ he said.
“Just as I felt compelled to speak out publicly in 2011, I feel compelled to continue this critical work.’’
Mr Waks’ campaign has taken a heavy toll on his family and he conceded that had influenced his decision to leave.
