ISPCAN brought together a global steering committee to visualize the response and nature of child sexual exploitation and abuse in low resource environments. Using data and research to inform practice, we aim to drive long-term coordinated action to help victims and safeguard children. In every community, with existing resources, how can we do better?
The resource guide is a living document to capture and link to effective approaches for addressing tools and resources for each sector. From basic to advanced training, this guide will continue to grow with innovative work used globally in prevention, treatment, research, policy and collaboration.
Now more than ever it is critical that we collaborate to use data-led approaches more effectively, to deliver child-centered outcomes for children and families, and to reduce secondary vicarious trauma for our front-line professionals. Paired with the launch of this new framework tool, we hope this will bring an additional spotlight on the role of the front line practitioners like law enforcement, health, community leaders to maximize what we do have right now.
Children are our most precious resource and it is our duty to protect child rights. We hope you will accept the challenge to be a leader for your community by driving an organized response to child abuse as this problem is only growing and the number of cases will also cause a high level of burnout in our precious front line.
