#OurVoice
Survey for Survivors of Sexual Violence in Childhood

The primary aim of the global Our Voice survivor survey is to raise the voice and wisdom of those who have been subjected to sexual violence in their childhood. By taking part in the survey, you can help protect children from child sexual abuse and/or exploitation and promote the rights of victims and survivors. Partaking in the survey is fully anonymous. 

"We aim to help protect children in a very concrete way. Our organisation’s one and only focus is to work toward preventing sexual crimes against children. We bring together a team of specialists with a broad range of national and international experience, and work from multiple angles to protect children."
