(888) 407-0224America’s children desperately need your help. Most of us are unaware that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Shockingly, 85 percent of these children are abused by someone they or their family knows and trusts.
Sadly, because of the ‘taboo’ nature along with trauma, fear, shame, misplaced loyalty and distrust associated with abuse, only ten percent of victims and survivors ever find the courage to report this crime.
Government statistics estimate that there are approximately 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in America today. As American taxpayers we spend more than $103 billion each year on costs associated with child abuse. These facts strongly support the reality that childhood sexual abuse has reached national epidemic proportions that affect each and every one of us.
The National Association to Prevent Sexual Abuse of Children is dedicated to ending childhood sexual abuse in three generations through awareness, education, and the advocacy of children’s rights through legal reform.
