New campaign empowering children to speak out
A new book designed to empower the “brave voices” of children by encouraging them to speak out and find help if they experience abuse was launched in April. Supported by Life Education Trust, Save the Children, and Women’s Refuge, the Feel Brave book is the centre of a campaign aiming to break the culture of silence that traditionally surrounds sexual and other forms of abuse in Aotearoa New Zealand and deliver children a vital message: ‘To seek out a trusted adult until they find one who believes them and will act on their behalf to help keep them safe and secure.’
