Moore Centre for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse

Initiative

Our Mission

The Moore Center for the Prevention of Sexual Abuse’s mission is to prevent child sexual abuse through targeted endeavors in five key areas: research, education, communications, advocacy, and policy. To effect change, we collaborate with a broad coalition of stakeholders, including survivors of child sexual abuse and their advocates and allies, help seekers and others with relevant lived experience, policy makers, practitioners, funders, and law enforcement. We support efforts to ensure not only the prevention of child sexual abuse, but also the healing of survivors, treatment for those who have caused harm, and efforts to ensure justice for all. We recognize the right of all children to grow up free from abuse.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world without child sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse is a preventable, not inevitable, public health problem. We believe that everyone shares the responsibility for prevention, and everyone benefits when children remain safe from abuse.

Our Founders

The Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse was founded in 2012 with a courageous and generous gift from Dr. Stephen and Mrs. Julia Moore.
