It is time for a breakthrough to end childhood sexual violence.
Childhood sexual violence is a silent global scourge. It affects children and adolescents of every country, race, ethnicity, caste, religion, sexual orientation, and gender. The survivor centered Brave Movement knows how to end childhood sexual violence.
The Summit is the first moment in which the Brave Movement will come together, as survivors and allies, to align on our demands to end childhood sexual violence. The time is now for this momentous gathering – in just over two months the G7 nations will meet and the Brave Movement will insist that ending child sexual violence is on the agenda.
The Summit is hosted by international journalist and broadcaster Femi Oke, with contributions from our SAGE members:
