Sharing ‘Emma’s Project’

Emma's Project

Four years ago, Emma approached Australian Childhood Foundation because she wanted her story of survival to change the ways that children and young people are protected from child sexual abuse.

Now 22 years old, Emma partnered with ACF in an effort to integrate the wisdom and views of people with lived experience of child sexual abuse into the development of freely available resources and training materials that will galvanise and inform the Australian community. They will involve a strong call to action for everyone with children in their lives to make children’s safety from sexual abuse an ongoing and critical priority.  

Listen to Emma explain her reasons for leading the project with ACF.
