Project Description
Mission and Vision
Our mission at No More Stolen Childhoods is to change the public perception about childhood sexual abuse and to help those abused find fulfillment in their permanently scarred lives.
The reality:
1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before the age of 18
Roughly 57,000 cases of sexual abuse are reported each year
Sexual abuse is an ACE (adverse childhood experience) and contributes to poor health outcomes for victims
The vision:
All trusted adults are aware of the signs and symptoms to prevent abuse from happening
Childhood sexual abuse is part of the conversation and training model for all mandated reporters
Adult victims access available resources, begin their path to healing and become survivors
