ACCORDING TO U.N REPORTS, 220 MILLION CHILDREN ARE SEXUALLY ABUSED EVERY YEAR 7 CHILDREN PER SECOND
A Global Movement to End Child Sexual Abuse. Mobilizing parents, educators, experts, and governments to protect children—one country at a time.
Tom's Secret is a short animation movie for parents and children.
The production is the first of its kind in the world ever, that on one hand guides parents how to identify child sexual abuse, and on the other hand encourages children to share.
The script of the animation movie (5 minutes long) was written by child sexual abuse experts from the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel.
The short movie was initially produced in Hebrew, and was
converted to English. Versions in Spanish, French, Russian and Arabic are also planned.
THE MISSION
The mission of our global initiative is to increase public awareness of child sexual abuse, and to pressure governments to implement stricter laws, in order to reduce the number of victims.
THE FOUNDER
FOUNDER'S NOTE
According to studies, one of every six children is sexually abused, and in most cases the offender is someone that the victim already knew.
Many child victims do not receive the support they need, and offenders are often not held accountable by the authorities.
I decided that I can't stand aside, and do my best efforts to fight the phenomenon of child sexual abuse worldwide. Since then, I dedicate one day every week to promote a global campaign that addresses issues relating to the increasing rate of child sexual abuse.
The Tom's Secret campaign is seeking to raise awareness of child sexual abuse issues, and pressure governments to implement stricter laws to reduce the rate of child abuse. This effort will ultimately work toward providing a more supportive environment for victims, changing current child abuse laws and preventing the violation of children.
I believe that disseminating of videos in social networks can be a powerful tool for generating support around this issue. It can be the catalyst for building widespread awareness and encouraging viewers to become cause ambassadors.
We must maintain pressure on this issue – until we make important changes worldwide.
Sincerely,
Ronit Raphael
