Your support helps men build stronger, healthier futures. When men heal, families and communities thrive.
Some adults fail to protect children from sexual abuse because they deny, minimize, or don’t understand the signs, especially when the abuser is someone they know or trust. Others may feel powerless or afraid to act. Addressing these failures requires awareness, education, and support.
Certainly. But what matters most is how you understand it, for yourself.
Some people may say things like, “You have to call it ‘sexual abuse’ or ‘sexual assault’ or you can’t heal,” or “If you can’t admit that what happened was [their label], then you’re in denial.”
Even coming from someone who genuinely cares and wants to help, such comments and demands are not helpful.
