Blatt Afram company information, Employees & Contact Information

Blatt Afram, (pronounced: blout a-from) which translates as “Straight Forward,” is the leading grass roots child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention organization in Iceland. Blatt Afram was formed in 2004 by twin sisters, Svava and Sigga Bjornsdottir who themselves were sexually abused as young children growing up in Iceland but who sought to turn around their misfortune by helping others. Blatt Afram’s mission is to end the cycle of child sex abuse and break the conspiracy of silence around this most devastating and pervasive social issue by educating adults and creating greater awareness within the community, media and government. By shedding a light on this dark subject and speaking openly about their own abuse, Svava and Sigga have influenced recent legislation and statutes, created awareness of CSA and supported numerous abuse victims to come forward. In short, these two sisters have influenced a nation and helped many children and adults seek help, something that was almost completely unavailable previously. from www.blattafram.is/english
