/ Project presentation
Putting an end to child sexual abuse is a reference work intended for adults — parents, relatives, professionals in childhood, social work, health, education or justice — who wish to understand, identify and prevent sexual violence against minors.
Designed as a comprehensive and accessible guide, the book offers a structured approach based on current scientific, clinical, and institutional knowledge. It addresses sexual violence in all its complexity: definitions, realities, mechanisms, consequences, identification, legal framework, reporting, and prevention. Published in French and English, it aims for wide distribution, including internationally, to strengthen prevention efforts among a diverse audience.
/ Challenges
Child sexual abuse remains largely underreported, poorly understood, and often shrouded in misconceptions that hinder its detection and prevention. Many adults feel helpless in these situations: afraid of making a mistake, overreacting, lacking legitimacy, or doing the wrong thing. The aim of this book is to move beyond preconceived notions, deconstruct the myths surrounding both victims and perpetrators of sexual violence, and provide clear guidelines for understanding what is at stake, without unnecessary dramatization or trivialization.
/ Objectives
This book aims to give adults concrete tools to better protect children. It seeks to transform feelings of helplessness or anxiety into an informed, responsible, and reassuring approach to protection. The ambition is clear: to intervene before there is a victim and to contribute to sustainable prevention based on knowledge, collective responsibility, and respect for children's rights.
