Launch of new campaign video and petition to STOP child sexual abuse

 
Sexual abuse in the UK can be stopped – we need a united voice from the public to demand the necessary change.

 

Please watch this new short campaign video ("The Invisible Child"), and sign the associated petition.... :

 

http://achildiscrying.org.uk/  

 

Transformation Powerhouse, supporting adult survivors of child sexual abuse, want to use all the experience they have gained from working with individuals over the past 13 years to campaign for permanent change to stop child sexual abuse, as it can be done through a structured concerted strategy of "Provision, Prosecution and Prevention".

 

They really would like to see the church get behind this, which would give a huge impetus and a great testimony to the church taking on a deep and relevant spiritual and social issue in a positive way.

 

If you can assist in any way to encourage people to watch and sign, they would be grateful.  They are also keen to recruit local "ambassadors" who may want to promote this in their churches or neighbourhoods, and Transformation will give them all the campaign materials required.  More details from info@transformation.gs

 

Best wishes,
