What we do

At Protect Children, we believe that a holistic approach is essential for fully protecting children from all forms of sexual violence. Find out more about what we do to protect children and promote the realisation of children’s rights in all environments.

Children’s safety skills education

Protect Children educates children on how to stay safe, including in online environments. We produce educational material and trainings for children, youth, parents, caregivers and educators aimed at preventing sexual violence and to strengthen children’s safety and emotion regulation skills. All of our educational material is based on the latest research in the field and knowledge gathered as part of our other work.

Innovative research

Protect Children conducts innovative research on sexual crimes against children, including research on the perpetrators of the crimes. In order to prevent sexual violence against children, we constantly need new and up-to-date information in order to understand the nature of the crimes, the perpetrators and the victims. ​We are conducting innovative research focusing on perpetrators of sexual violence against children in order to get more information. We regularly publish reports, research articles and blog posts about the findings of our research.

Supporting victims, survivors, and families

We strongly believe that crimes of sexual violence against children are violence against the entire family. We support parents and caregivers whose child has become victim of a sexual crime in our peer support groups.

 

Every child that has become victim of sexual violence has the right to heal without fear of recordings of their abuse circulating online, possibly forever. We contribute to the removal of child sexual abuse material from the internet as part of the international Project Arachnid network. 

 

We support survivors of child sexual abuse and advocate for strengthening their rights and restoring justice for victims on a national and international level. We amplify their voices and wisdom as part of our advocacy work and have founded the “Our Voice” survivor group for survivors of sexual violence in childhood.
