Meet Rami, a boy who loves his family, but who's been keeping a secret.

While abuse by strangers does happen, most perpetrators are family members or others close to the family. This type of abuse can create an intense feeling of shame, making it hard for the child to come forward. This is why it's important for us all, to speak up if we suspect a child being subjected to any from of abuse.

Read Rami’s story to and with your children, and take the opportunity to teach them about their rights to be protected.
