Let's break
the record of inaction together
Every second, 3 girls and 2 boys experience sexual violence.
#BreakTheRecord was launched by Together for Girls and supported by Guinness World Records to bring an end to childhood sexual violence, once and for all.
‍
It began with the publication of a one-of-a-kind book, documenting the prevalence of childhood sexual violence around the world and practical steps to tackle it.
‍
And in November, it culminates with the largest-ever ministerial summit on childhood sexual violence, taking place in Bogotá, Colombia.

The first step in addressing childhood sexual violence is to equip yourself in fully understanding it. Here are 5 things to remember when talking about the issue:
Prevalence
Hundreds of millions of children worldwide experience sexual violence, affecting their safety and well-being. Seek out information about your country and region to better understand how it affects you locally.
Impact
Sexual violence leads to long-lasting physical, mental, and emotional trauma, often resulting in lifelong consequences that impact not just survivors, but also wider society. Addressing it benefits everyone.
Stigma and Silence:
Many survivors do not disclose their experiences due to shame and fear, leaving perpetrators unpunished. Give yourself the permission to speak out, and be ready to listen if someone speaks to you.
Global Recognition:
Ending childhood sexual violence has become a global priority, with initiatives like the Sustainable Development Goals aiming to address it. Hold your representatives to account.
Collaboration:
Governments, civil society, and survivor-led movements are crucial in enacting laws, raising awareness, and providing support to end this violence. Everybody has a role to play. Find yours.
