Only in cases of child abuse is a victim FORCED to live in the same home with his or her abuser. Only in cases of child abuse is a person denied the right to be safe in their own home. This points out a fundamental issue involving the rights of children: THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS Because children cannot speak for themselves.

Our Mission

We provide direct legal and social services when the system fails, assisting the child and the reporter of the abuse, in navigating a complicated administrative and judicial process that is often unjust. We do this with the help of trained volunteers, pro bono attorneys and medical professionals as well as trained therapists who truly have the best interest of the child at heart.

The Process

Your first point of contact will be with a trained volunteer who will assess the information you have provided and, depending on your situation, provide you with advice on what to do next.

From there a file containing the information you have provided will be opened and forwarded to the relevant person who may be a social worker, SAPS, a GP, psychologist, attorney, or court personnel. This professional will make contact with you within 24 hours of your first contact and work with you, bearing in mind every situation is different and needs a different approach.

Thereafter, and if needed, a team of professionals will be on hand to guide you and the child, providing support whether it be a court appearance or emotional and psychological support.

“It is inexcusable for it to reoccur once it is known to exist.”
