More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Child sexual abuse (CSA) constitutes a broad range of behaviors occurring along a continuum (from voyeurism to rape), usually over an extended period of time. It is occurring in pandemic proportions and causes grave physical and psychological trauma and social havoc. Stop the Silence provides survivors and supporters means to share information and healing directly through safe, creative, accessible venues like the virtual Talk Around the Clock, and Queendom, a live program for at-risk teens.

Activities

Stop the Silence continues to provide information virtually and on-the-ground through programs like Queendom, where at-risk teen girls meet over a 1-year period and discuss the issues they face.

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $4,625

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Unless societies throughout the world can face & address CSA, it will not be stopped. We bring CSA out of the shadows and into the light worldwide by providing a safe way for survivors to share their thoughts and experiences.

Project Message

You did not deviate from the goal [with Talk Around the Clock]. It focused on child sexual abuse & went on for hours, non-stop! It is a new innovation. It connects the world and fights this epidemic.

Latest Update from the Field

Stop the Silence matching campaign

By Pamela Pine - CEO, Stop the Silence, November 13, 2009 11:09 AM

Hello supporters of Stop the Silence! I hope you are all doing well. Thank you for your past support.

I am writing now to provide an update on our progress and to let you know about an incredible opportunity.

First the update... Stop the Silence is moving swiftly forward in the development of exciting global advocacy with Talk to Stop. We're also providing great programming on the ground with Queendom, a program to reach at-risk 13-19 year old girls (some information on that program is attached). AND, our BRAND NEW Web site will be live soon -- so visit the site (www.stopcsa.org) soon for our great new look and updates on projects.

There's something else I need to reach out to you about. 2009 has been a tough year, but we are determined... Right now, we have the opportunity through the Global Giving Foundation to raise matching funds. Please help us raise $5,000 now to meet our current donation goal of $10,000! If we raise $10 - $2,500, donations in that range will be matched at 30%. Raising $2,501 - $7,500, donations will result in 40% matching! Raising $5,000 will result in $7,000! We can do this with your help!!

Please go to www.goto.gg.3583 (or http://www.globalgiving.com/projects/child-sexual-abuse/) to help Stop the Silence stop child sexual abuse!

Please consider making a pledge for $20 a month (or, if you can give more, wonderful) over the next year. We need to impact this epidemic. Just imagine -- if we could get 1,000 supporters to provide $20 a month, we could put the programs that we're imaging in place. But we need your help.

Thank you!
