Join the fight on Global Day to End Child Sexual Abuse - together, we can create a world where every child is safe and protected.
Mark your calendars for April 11, because it's time to raise awareness and take action against child sexual abuse on Global Day to End Child Sexual Abuse. This day was first observed in 2000 by the organization "Stop It Now!" as a way to educate communities and individuals about this pressing issue. While it may not be a fun topic, it is an important one that needs our attention and efforts to protect children all around the world. Let's come together and make a difference on this day and every day moving forward.
