Celebrating 30 Years of Stop It Now! Across the Globe!
Throughout 2022, join Stop It Now! as we celebrate 30 years of international child sexual abuse prevention!
Stop It Now! was founded to prevent child sexual abuse using the tried and tested methods of public health. That meant seeing who was at risk for being abused and helping adults take responsibility for stopping it. In 1992 the prevailing means of preventing child sexual abuse was teaching children to protect themselves, but Fran Henry, founder of Now! and a survivor herself, knew much more could and should be done. Now! influenced the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to recognize child sexual abuse as preventable. Stop It Now!’s programs of helpline support, training and education, and policy work are recognized as keeping children safe.
