• Preventing Child Sexual Abuse Through Action

  • Supporting Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse

  • Sharing the Global Hand Sign to Keep Kids Safe

Global Awareness Day – 16 June

This day is dedicated to raising awareness of child sexual abuse, honouring the survivors of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and most importantly, shifting the silence.

Here’s how you can get involved:

❤️ Join us for a 30-minute walk at 10am your local time, WHEREVER YOU ARE in the world. If 16 June falls on a weekday, feel free to do your walk the closest weekend day. Around the world, landmarks will be lit in our logo colours — red, white, and black — to honour this cause.

❤️ Swap your profile pictures with our HTSB logo to help raise awareness and boost visibility across social media.

❤️ Share the global hand sign with least one other person. It’s a simple yet powerful way to spread the message and raise awareness.

If you are in Auckland, New Zealand, we invite you to join our Handing the Shame Back team for the Global Awareness Day Walk!

We will be meeting at Cornwall Park (by the Café and the main carpark) at 10am on Sunday 15 June.

Bring your family, friends, and even your fur babies — everyone is welcome!
