NNECA – National Network to End Child Abuse

NNECA believe 90% of child sexual abuse is preventable through better education and awareness. We currently operate in the UK, Europe, US and India, and share our awareness material in over 50 countries across multiple languages. EDUCATION - we seek to ensure that every child has the tools necessary to be the first line of defence against his or her own abuse through our “Kids Safe Zone” abuse prevention material. The curriculum contains educationally sound content for children, parents, teachers, and carers. AWARENESS -We raise awareness about the prevention of child sexual abuse through public awareness campaigns and by harnessing the power of technology. Our opportunity is driven by the huge growth of social and digital media platforms. Recent studies show that over 94% of young people who use a mobile to go online, do so daily. Social media is the GOAT (greatest of all time) communication tool for younger generations and an incredible opportunity to scale, reach, and start conversations. CYBERPROTECT – Child sexual exploitation techniques are changing drastically due to ever-evolving online and mobile technologies. Children today have unhindered access to the Internet via smartphones and tablets – which has also led to an alarming increase in how quickly children are being groomed online. The online world is found everywhere, and it is growing even more ubiquitous; and sex offenders believe that they can remain anonymous, which is what has led to an explosion of crimes that threaten all our children.
