Additional background

Sexual violence against children and adolescents is one of the largest silent pandemics of our time. It is a problem that festers in homes, online, and in communities in every country around the world.

The Brave Movement demands an end to the pandemic of sexual violence through advocacy for bold public policy solutions combined with public campaigns to shift societal norms, eradicate survivor stigma and break the conspiracy of silence that enables sexual violence to continue. We are mobilizing survivors and allies that are globally connected, nationally coordinated, and locally grounded. Our approach is structured across prevention, healing, and justice.
