April | Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month

April is the Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. Any child or youngster can be a victim of violence, physical, psychological, or sexual, face to face or online, no matter the age, sex, or socioeconomic status. Nevertheless, this does not have to last forever. All of us can and should help to fight this problem.

If you know a child or youngster victim of violence, listen to them and most important ask for help. Tell them there is someone who can help and that you will always be by their side. If you are a child or youngster victim of abuse, do not hesitate: ask for help to an adult you trust.

In April, and always, we have the duty to protect children and youngsters and to prevent any form of violence. We are all very important security agents of all the members of our community!
