RESEARCH ARCHIVE

If you are being sexually abused, talk to someone you know and trust—NOW.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.

The numbers are staggering. Surveys show that one in two females and one in three males will be victims of unwanted sexual acts during their lifetimes. Fully 80 percent of these acts will be committed when the victims—our friends, our neighbours, our children—are under the age of 18.

Our goal is to end the nightmare.

Programs/Services
Whether you are a victim/survivor, a counsellor, a teacher or a friend or family member, this searchable database will soon be your one-stop source for programs and services.

Prevention
Find out how you can prevent child sexual abuse, influence those who are in a position to make better and stronger laws and get the very latest information on child sexual abuse.

Research
Research allows us to make better decisions when it comes to protecting our children. We are bringing together the very best research, identifying gaps in our knowledge and then working to fill those gaps.
