[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# child abuse

Child abuse and neglect are common throughout the world. Children abuse victims are typically harmed by the people who should be protecting and caring for them–parents and guardians, teachers, coaches, clergy. Child abuse and neglect can dramatically impact the survivor’s life experience and health. Girls and gender-expansive children are especially vulnerable to child sexual abuse and other human rights violations.
