Global Movement Calls for Establishing November 18, 2021 as the First Annual “World Day of Action in Recognition of Prevention, Healing and Justice to End Sexual Violence Against Children & Adolescents”
Survivors and aspiring allies around the world
are building a global movement and mobilizing on
November 18, 2021 to launch the First Annual:
“World Day of Action in Recognition of Prevention,
Healing and Justice to End Sexual Violence Against
Children & Adolescents.”
The intentions of this global mobilization are to:
- Acknowledge the magnitude of the global crisis of sexual violence against children and adolescents;
- Call for systemic change in communities, countries, and globally to address this global crisis;
- Call for long-term, sustained funding for organizations focused on “prevention, healing, and justice” to ensure programs reach all children everywhere;
- Unite organizations and advocates across disciplines, promote partnerships and share resources for effective “prevention, healing, and justice” policies and full scale programs that reach and safeguard all children everywhere;
- Ensure that survivor voices and experiences are heard, acknowledged, honored and included in governing and decision-making bodies.
This day/date has been recognised by the Council Of Europe (COE) since 2015 and organisations around the world have been supporting this but equally recognise the importance of bringing an end to these heinous crimes world-wide and therefore, have created the Global Action Alliance, of which Caroline has been chosen as 1 of 15 survivor advocates.
Quote from Professor S. Caroline Taylor AM as part of the
Global Action Alliance, New York, USA:
“Globally, the sexual abuse of children remains an urgent and unremitting wicked issue. A global day of recognition and action will provide a platform for survivors to speak out for change, justice, hope and healing; and to empower victims to disclose and obtain help. In Australia, intrafamilial rape, which is the sexual abuse of children in the family by a relative or step-relative, continues to be silenced by stigma, ignorance and lack of committed action, despite the fact that intrafamilial sexual abuse is the most prevalent and repetitive form of child sexual abuse. Survivor advocates are leading the charge for a day of global action and we will not stop until it is achieved. I am so proud of my fellow survivor peers from around the world who are working together to make history for November 18 to be a global day of action regarding child sexual abuse.”
