Advocacy Officer | Remote

The Brave Movement is a survivor-centered global movement campaigning to end childhood sexual violence.

Millions of children worldwide experience sexual violence. This threatens the safety and protection of all children and adolescents in our communities.

Childhood sexual violence remains a taboo and continues to affect individuals, families and communities globally. For many years, victims have been silenced, stigmatized, and shamed whilst perpetrators have been exempt from justice.

That changes now: sexual violence against children must be recognized worldwide as an unacceptable, preventable, and criminal act.

The Brave Movement is led by survivors of sexual violence with different backgrounds and experiences who share a common knowledge of what it’s like to feel alone, to be hidden, to live scared and to hold onto misplaced blame. As part of a growing global alliance, standing alongside these courageous survivors, the Brave Movements is campaigning to turn the shame onto perpetrators and systems that protect them and is determined to ensure that other children do not experience what our survivor leaders have.

Through the Brave Movement, survivors and allies together, we are calling for bold and transformative action to end childhood sexual violence for good.
