Stop the Silence: Stop Child Sexual Abuse

The Mission of Stop the Silence is two-fold: 1) to increase awareness about and conduct programming to address the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse, and 2) to address the relationships between this issue and the broader issues of overall family and community violence, and further, violence within and between communities. The Mission underlines the importance of a shift in focus on positive development within our overall social complexes (eg., the relationships between men and women, adults and children, cultural groups) to support peaceful -and to hinder violence prone- relationships. Our goal is to stop child sexual abuse and related forms of violence by changing the societal relationships within and between groups.
