Mission Statement
Peaceful Hearts Foundation provides survivor-informed advocacy for the elimination of childhood sexual victimization and trauma. We envision a safe society in which all survivors can come forward, share their truths and receive the love and support they deserve.
Description
Peaceful Hearts works to support the following initiatives:
- public awareness and education about childhood sexual abuse (CSA)
- resources for survivors and families
- stricter laws, regulations and mandatory penalties for abusers and establishments that turn a blind eye
- a greater commitment to prevention, intervention and accountability
Peaceful Hearts raises public awareness about CSA through media and community events, as well as education and information campaigns that enable the public to proactively participate in creating a community that is free of child abuse and safe for survivors to heal.
We are committed to developing resources and programs that empower survivors to find their voices and reclaim their lives. We believe that the power and support that is found when survivors come together to share their experiences needs to be promoted in all communities.
We see abuse as a vicious cycle and hope that communities and survivors can come together to implement measures for prevention, intervention and accountability.
Peaceful Hearts believes that if we can all find a way to come together and speak about the epidemic that is child sexual abuse, we will create a world much safer for all children and the 42 million survivors that are currently in the United States.
