Ending Child Sexual Abuse

Ending child sexual abuse is possible, and this handbook on transformative justice outlines a path to justice for family members, friends, teachers, community leaders, physical and mental health practitioners, and anyone seeking to address child sexual abuse in their lives and in the lives of those around them.

Children cannot and should never be expected to prevent or interrupt abuse they experience. The responsibility for abuse lies with the person or people doing the harm, and it is the responsibility of the adults in a child’s life to protect a child from abuse. Knowledge about CSA can make a huge difference in our ability to prevent, recognize, and intervene when someone is sexually abusing a child.
