Child Body Safety Academy
Get trained: protecting children from sexual abuse
The Child Body Safety Academy is a comprehensive educational platform designed to train and equip teachers, parents, child advocates, and caregivers with essential knowledge and skills in body safety.
Why it matters
Child sexual abuse is widespread but often unreported
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a widespread but often unreported issue in Africa due to cultural taboos and lack of awareness. Poverty, limited education, and unstable conditions increase children’s vulnerability to exploitation. CSA includes molestation, trafficking, and other forms of abuse, with devastating physical and emotional effects.
It happens in schools, homes, and religious settings, affecting both boys and girls. Get trained today: learn how to identify, prevent, and respond to CSA. Every child deserves protection.
