of Hope About Vision of Hope
Child sexual abuse happens at an alarming rate. One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused by age 18. While these statistics are shocking, they do not express the anger, betrayal, fear, guilt and self-hatred that is often experienced by victims – our children. As adults, we have the power to intervene and protect their childhoods from further devastation. By remaining silent and inactive, we impose the burden of speaking out on the child who is already forced to cope with the reality that someone they love, trust or even live with has taken her/his innocence. Through Vision of Hope, we are working to protect – and restore – the hopes and dreams of our children. Nationally, Vision of Hope will promote:
Investing in SolutionsAdvocates across the country work diligently to develop and execute innovative programs, curricula and initiatives that serve to prevent and minimize the impact of child sexual abuse. With proper support and funding these tools have the power to calm the cries of a child, quiet her/his fears and heal the wounds of abuse through kindness and compassion that inspires trust. Children’s dreams are pure and their futures deserving. Learn how you can invest in solutions that bring promise and hope to those most vulnerable – our precious children. Together, we can be their hope. Guiding Our Vision…Leading the Vision of Hope campaign is former Pennsylvania First Lady and mother of two, Michele M. Ridge. She is joined in this effort by professionals from government, business and the private sector who are dedicated to promoting solutions that protect children from a lifetime of devastation.
