Welcome, today is November 19, World Day for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse. At AVASIS, this year we defend the motto “Break the Silence”. This problem affects 1 in 5 minors, however, we want to highlight that these data are unrealistic since most survivors do not report the abuse.

Promote a healthy environment for the correct development of children and adolescents. Guarantee resources for prevention, detection and intervention in ASI. Guarantee the freedom and safety of people, as well as their protection, against degrading treatment. Promote awareness and prevention campaigns by involving different agents from the school, health, legal and work spheres. We cannot consent to silence, we cannot consent to them touching our body, hurting us, making us ashamed, making us afraid, physically and mentally mistreating us… We do not belong to anyone. The people who love you listen to you, support you…the people who love you do not touch your body without your consent. You have a voice. You decide for yourself. Don’t shut up, talk about it, shout about it. You are always on time: BREAK THE SILENCE.
